Preview | Wigan Athletic U21s v Swansea City U21s

Swansea City Under-21s make the long trip north as they prepare to face Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium on Tuesday afternoon (1pm).

The Swans were defeated on the road last time out, as Colchester United claimed a 2-0 victory over the young Swans last Friday.

Wigan, meanwhile, sit 10th in the Professional Development League North table. The Latics haven't picked up a win since March 4, when they claimed a 2-0 victory over Hull City on home turf.

Wigan Athletic 2 Swansea City 1

Yori Griffith's maiden under-21s' goal was not enough to prevent Swansea City suffering defeat against Wigan Athletic on their last visit to the DW Stadium.

The 17-year-old, on his first start for the under-21s, put the Swans ahead when he turned in a rebound from close range in the first half.

But the hosts levelled the score within the final quarter of the game after a trialist poked home from a corner kick.

And Leo Graham claimed the three points and completed the comeback for the Latics as he headed home a cross with five minutes remaining.

Scholars Sammy Henia-Kamau, Thomas Searle and Griffith made their first starts for the upper-age group, whilst fellow under-18s Aidan Higgins, Jacob Cook, Josh Pescatore, Thomas Woodward and Ewan Griffiths made up the bench.

Swansea City Under-21s: Remy Mitchell, Thomas Searle (Josh Pescatore 40), Sebastian Dabrowski, Mitchell Bates (captain), Joe Thomas, Kian Jenkins, Maliq Cadogan, Charlie Veevers, Sammy Henia-Kamau (Thomas Woodward 63), Glory Nzingo, Yori Griffith.

Substitutes: Ewan Griffiths, Jacob Cook, Aidan Higgins.
