History of the Leyton Orient v Swansea City fixture

Leyton Orient prepare to entertain Swansea City at Matchroom Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The O's are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 8 of the 36 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Matchroom Stadium was just last season, in February 2005, with Leyton Orient running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a League Two match.
