Swansea City's away form at Lincoln City presents a stark historical challenge ahead of their first league meeting there since 2005. The Swans have lost 10 of their past 12 away league games at Sincil Bank, winning just once and drawing once in that period, and they have lost all four visits this century.
This history clashes with the current reality of Swansea sitting first in the Championship with 17 points from eight games. Their recent form includes a 3-1 home win over Burnley last weekend, but they face a Lincoln side riding momentum. The Imps have won their last two league games 1-0 and have kept four clean sheets in their past five matches.
The last league meeting between the sides was in April 2005, a 1-0 Lincoln win in League Two. More recently, the teams met in a cup tie on September 19, which Swansea won 2-1 with goals from Moussa Kounfolo Yeo and Stephen Eustáquio. You can review the club's full fixtures and current standings.
Swansea's next match after this trip is a home game against Norwich on October 10.
