Swansea City Under-18s welcome Watford to the Joma High Performance Centre for their Professional Development League clash on Saturday morning (11am). 

Entry for this fixture is free, and supporters are permitted on site from 10am.

The Swans currently sit seventh in the PDL South table, and were beaten last time out in the league by top-of-the-table Bristol City.

But the Swans come into fixture on the back of a 3-2 win in the PDL Cup, after Josh Pescatore's last-minute winner clinched victory over Plymouth Argyle on the road.

The Hornets, meanwhile, sit in fifth place in the table, winning their most recent fixture 6-1 against Queens Park Rangers.

Swansea City 2 Watford 0

A fantastic second-half performance saw Swansea City Under-18s defeat 10-man Watford to reach the final of the Professional Development League Cup.

Thomas Woodward and Jacob Cook were on the scoresheet for the hosts at Landore as they progressed to the showpiece for the first time.

The win made it five victories in a row for the development side, and it was thoroughly deserved following a dominant showing after the break.
