Swansea City Under-21s return to Professional Development League action as they get set for south Wales derby action at Leckwith Stadium on Tuesday afternoon (2pm).
The Swans will be looking to bounce back following home and away defeats against Millwall in the space of a few days.
The Bluebirds, who were in fine form in the early stages of the campaign, reaching the semi-finals of the Nathaniel MG Cup, come into the fixture having lost their last four outings in the league.
Cardiff ran out winners in the reverse fixture in November, after Michael Reindorf's strike proved the difference at the Joma High Performance Centre. |  |

Tanatswa Nyakuhwa's brace proved the difference in Leckwith, putting City ahead twice as the young Bluebirds secured all three points against the Swans.
The hosts enjoyed a perfect start to the fixture as City fired ahead with fewer than two minutes played. Isaac Jefferies burst down the right wing before cutting out a tremendous arched cross towards Nyakuhwa at the far post, who headed home freely.
Having taken an early lead, City were pulled back 15 minutes later, as Maliq Cadogan brought his side level once again. Receiving the ball inside the area, the forward finished neatly past Luke Armstrong, who couldn't quite get a hand of the effort at close range.
The hosts had to temper good pressure from their opponents in the ensuing minutes, as the Swans looked to gather momentum and take the lead themselves. Sebastian Dabrowski came closest for the visitors, though his shot went well wide.
Utilising wide spaces, City created half chances before the break through Tanatswa and Will Spiers, though they saw their efforts blocked.
Starting the second half similarly to the first, City forced themselves into the lead once again within five minutes of the interval, as Nyakuhwa bagged his second. Dylan Lawlor picked out the forward with a fantastic through ball down the middle, which Tanatswa took in his stride as he rounded Kit Margetson between the sticks.
The visitors were held thereafter by the young Bluebirds, aside from Armstrong making a terrific fingertip save to deny Josh Pescatore, as the 'keeper did just enough to push a shot over his crossbar with 20 minutes remaining.
Holding on until the final whistle was blown, City showed grit to win all three points and defeat the Swans following a determined performance in the Welsh capital. | |

Is it a case of the u21s following the lead of the first teams failings with the initial set up and style of at the start each half and directly after scoring goals? In all those cases the first team has a history of over playing especially deep in our half and getting our pants pulled down giving silly goals away. Did we almost suffer conceeding early against Bristol on Sunday and did the u21s suffer it yesterday? |  | | |

Although structured the u21s seem to play with a lot more freedom and on the front foot. | | | |
