It's the age-grade side's first outing in a fortnight after their home fixture against Ipswich Town was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Pre-match views

Coach Darren Davies: "We’ll review our performances, focus on how we can get better as individuals and as a team because it’s all about us learning.

"If there’s an improvement game by game I’ll be happy, and the development of the young lads is what we strive for. 

"We haven't played QPR yet this season, so it'll be a different test, but one we'll be prepared for."
