Swansea City Under-21s are back in Premier League Cup action this evening for their Penultimate group-stage fixture against West Bromwich Albion at the Joma High Performance Centre (7pm).

The Swans currently sit second in Group C on six points following two wins over Fleetwood Town and West Brom away from home.

However, Swansea have lost their last two consecutive fixtures in the competition, both on home turf against Southampton and Fleetwood Town respectively.

The Baggies, meanwhile, sit one point behind the Swans with one win, two draws and a loss to their name.

Coach Anthony Wright: "We're still in a good position to qualify once again for the knockout stages of the competition, which is what we set out to do.

"We're disappointed to have lost our last two games in the cup, especially when we didn't deserve to. We know we can match these teams, and we have shown that already."

Aimar Govea's 94th-minute strike ensured Swansea City Under-21s made it back-to-back Premier League Cup wins with victory over their West Bromwich Albion counterparts at The Hawthorns.

Swansea led with 10 minutes played after Govea's cross was turned into the back of the net by a West Brom defender.

And the visitors retained their lead at the break with Richard Faakye and Iestyn Jones to the fore defensively.

However, the hosts levelled through Oliver Bostock in the final quarter of the contest. 

But Govea netted a dramatic last-gasp winner to claim all three points under the lights.

Swansea City Under-21s: Ben Hughes, Arthur Parker, Sebastian Dabrowski, Mitchell Bates (captain), Richard Faakye, Iestyn Jones, Aimar Govea, Dan Watts (Thomas Woodward 77), Sammy Henia-Kamau (Morgan Bates 87), Ben Lloyd, Glory Nzingo.

Substitutes: Josh Pescatore, Kit Margetson, Brogan Popham.
