Swansea have found themselves drawn at home in the first round of this season's AXA FA Cup, paired against Second Division Queens Park Rangers. |
It will be the first time in 20 years that the two teams have faced each other in any competition with QPR running out victors on that occasion by 2-1 at the Vetch. |
They have previously met once in the FA Cup, way back in 1914, Rangers again winning by 2-1 at the Vetch. |
Swansea's last win over the blue and white hoops came way back in 1965, when they triumphed 4-2 at the Vetch and QPR have won 8 of the 9 games between the sides since then. |
The tie will be played at the Vetch on the weekend of 17 November. |
