Cardiff City are at home against Watford in a Professional Development League Cup match this afternoon.
The under-23 match is at Cardiff City Stadium (Thursday, 1pm) and the young Bluebirds are looking to repeat their league win against the Hornets during October.
Mark Harris scored both goals in a 2-0 victory at CCS.
Andy Legg and Jarred Harvey are in charge of City’s development squad, who defeated Coventry City 1-0 away earlier this week.
