Preview | Bristol City U18s v Swansea City U18s
Swansea City Under-18s are back in Professional Development League action when they travel to face Bristol City on Saturday morning (11am).
The Swans suffered heartbreak last time out in the south Wales derby as Cardiff City produced a second-half comeback to claim the three points with a 3-2 victory.
Swansea have already faced the Robins this season in the PDL Cup, with a thrilling contest ending 4-4 at Landore.
Since that eight-goal thriller, Bristol City have won just once against Peterborough United on home turf.

Coach Jarred Harvey: "The boys were disappointed with the outcome on Tuesday night, but I'm proud of the way they fought with 10 men.
"It's a two-game week for us, and a quick turnaround, but that's all part of their learning. We had an entertaining encounter with Bristol City a couple of weeks ago in the cup, and we hope to have a positive showing up there."
