John Dungworth's Reserve team host Walsall at the Galpharm Stadium in a 7pm kick-off tonight.

The second-string has a young look to it this week, with only five of the starting eleven being first-team squad members - the other six being current scholars in the successful Town Academy.

Of all eleven players, only skipper Matthew Young (pictured) has played more than ten games for the first-team but second-year scholar Daniel Broadbent was an (unused) substitute for the first time during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Oldham Athletic at the Galpharm Stadium and netted an impressive brace in last weeks' 3-3 Reserve team draw with Morecambe.

Young full-back Jack Hunt will make his first ever appearance at Reserve team level for Town tonight, while the game marks Luke Malcher's first appearance in six fixtures following his back problem.

Looking at the eleven, it seems that Dungworth will set up his team in the customary 4-4-2 formation with England under-17 goalkeeper protected by a back four of, from left to right; Tom Jackson, Shane Killock, Daniel Codman and Jack Hunt. In midfield, Captain Matty Young and Danny Racchi will occupy the left and right wings respectively with James Berrett and Mitchell Bailey in the centre - leaving Daniel Broadbent and Luke Malcher to lead the line in attack.

Season ticket holders can bring their booklets to designated turnstiles tonight to gain free entry; otherwise it is £3.50 for Adults and £1 for Concessions.
