Preview | Swansea City U21s v Crewe Alexandra U21s

Swansea City Under-21s will be on home soil for the first time this season when they welcome Crewe Alexandra to the Swansea.com Stadium on Monday afternoon (1pm kick-off).

This fixture is free to attend, and tickets can be claimed HERE.

Last season, the young Swans enjoyed a 100% win rate in their five games at the ground, and finishing off the 2022-23 campaign with a 10-1 victory over Birmingham City at the home of the senior side.

The age-grade side fell to defeat against Barnsley in their opening game of the Professional Development League season last week at Oakwell and will be looking to bounce back.

Meanwhile, it was a point apiece for the Railwaymen in their season opener at home to Bristol City.

Pre-match views

Coach Anthony Wright: "It's always a great opportunity to play at the stadium, and for it to be the first home game of the season is great.

"Hopefully, we can get a good crowd there as it's the summer holidays, the support means a lot to the boys.

"We played Crewe away last season, and it was a tough game. We've had a good pre-season and a competitive pre-season, so we're looking forward to it."

Crewe Alexandra 2 Swansea City 2

Swansea City Under-21s staged a dramatic late comeback to snatch a point when they last faced Crewe Alexandra at the Swansway Stadium.

The home side had looked to be on course for all three points after Matus Holicek tapped in the opener just minutes after coming on as a substitute, with Joel Tabiner slotting home the second at the back post.

However, the Swans showed great character to battle back and they struck twice inside the final four minutes. Josh Thomas pulled one back two minutes from time, with substitute Seb Dabrowski netting an equaliser in stoppage time.

Swansea City Under-21s: Remy Mitchell, Kai Ludvigsen, Filip Lissah, Ben Blythe, Zane Myers (Seb Dabrowski 67), Corey Hurford (Tarrelle Whittaker, 54), Dan Williams (Kyrell Wilson 70), Sam Leverett (captain), Joel Cotterill, Ben Lloyd, Josh Thomas. 

Unused subs: Ben Hughes, Ruben Davies.
