Bolton Wanderers Reserves are in action tonight as they welcome their Blackburn Rovers counterparts to the County Ground, Leyland in what is a mini Lancashire derby.

Wanderers will be aiming to bounce back from last week's 4-2 defeat against relegation rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and gain some ground on those teams near to them in the FA Premier Reserve League.

Bolton reserve coach Neil McDonald is able to call upon the services of five internationals in the shape of Donovan Ricketts, Ndiwa Lord-Kangana, Ibrahim Ba, Dwight Pezzarossi and Jermaine Johnson whilst on-loan defender Jon Otsemobor is also included in the side to face Rovers.

Blackburn name a strong side to face the Trotters with a lot of first team experience between them. Dwight Yorke, Lorenzo Amoruso, Peter Enckleman, Vratislav Gresko, Stephen Reid and Matt Jansen are just some of the names selected by our Lancashire rivals who make the short trip to Leyland for tonights clash.
