Swansea City Under-21s are on the road for the penultimate time this season as they travel to take on Coventry City on Friday afternoon (1pm).

The Swans won in dramatic fashion last time out away from home, as Morgan Bates' 92nd-minute winner earned a 4-3 victory over Bristol City at the Robins High Performance Centre.

Coventry, meanwhile, sit fifth in the Professional Development League South table. The Sky Blues have won two out of their last five league outings, with wins over Watford and Wigan Athletic respectively.

Debutant Kristian Fletcher's last-minute header completed a second-half comeback for Swansea City's Under-21s as they claimed their first away win of the season against Coventry City at the CBS Arena.

A goal in the first five minutes put the Swans ahead after Mitchell Bates struck wonderfully from 30 yards.

A goal either side of the break from Justin Obikwu looked to have given Coventry the three points, but the young Swans had other ideas.

Kyrell Wilson got the Swans level with a header in the final 10 minutes before Fletcher netted the dramatic winner in stoppage time.

Swansea City Under-21s: Evan Watts, Kai Ludvigsen, Zane Myers (Kristian Fletcher 45), Kian Jenkins (captain), Filip Lissah, Richard Faakye (Ben Lloyd 45), Sam Parker, Mitchell Bates, Kyrell Wilson, Maliq Cadogan (Ruben Davies 70), Liam Smith.
