Swansea City Under-18s are in south Wales derby action this evening when they welcome Cardiff City to Landore (7pm).

Entry for this fixture is free, and supporters are permitted on site from 6pm.

The Swans come into the fixture on the back of a 1-0 over top of the table AFC Bournemouth on the weekend, thanks to Morgan Bates' first-half goal.

The Bluebirds, meanwhile, sit second in the table following recent back-to-back wins against Ipswich Town and Crewe Alexandra respectively.

 

Pre-match views

Coach Jarred Harvey: "I though we were excellent on the weekend, and it's pleasing to see how how the players stuck together.

"This game always has an extra bit of emotion because of the opposition, but we prepare like any other game and the boys will be up for it."
