Preview | Swansea City U18s v Bristol City U18s
Swansea City Under-18s are back on home turf when they welcome Bristol City to Landore on Saturday afternoon for their Professional Development League clash (12pm).
The Swans kicked off 2024 on home soil with a 4-2 victory over Ipswich Town in January, and will be looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat at Charlton Athletic last time out.
The Robins - who sit top of the PDL South - come into the fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw with Colchester United.
In the reverse fixture, Bristol City clinched the win with 10 minutes to go as Brandon Bak's header found the back of the net and they held on to claim victory.
Pre-match views
Coach Jarred Harvey: "It feels like its been a while since we've been at home in the league, and we're most comfortable when we're on home turf.
"We were disappointed with the result against Charlton, but not with the hard-fought performance. Hopefully, Saturday will be another chance to give a lot of younger players and those returning some much-needed minutes."
