Fabian Wilnis, Mike Salmon, Pablo Couñago and Thomas Gaardsøe are the most senior players involved in tonight's reserve game against Wimbledon at Portman Road (KO 7pm).

Wilnis will hope to impress watching scouts while Gaardsøe will be looking to do well with John McGreal and possibly Mark Venus out of the Southampton match on March 2nd.

England U19 heroes Darren Bent and Matt Bloomfield both make starts as does Nabil Abidallah, a player who has not progressed as far as he might this season.

Wimbledon include Dean Blackwell and Par Karlsson amongst a side largely made-up of youngsters.

Team: 1. Mike Salmon, 2. Fabian Wilnis, 3. Lee Beevers, 4. Matthew Bloomfield, 5. Justin Miller (C), 6. Thomas GaardsØe, 7. Darren Ambrose, 8. Tommy Miller, 9. Pablo Couñago, 10. Darren Bent, 11. Nabil Abidallah. Subs: 12. Erdum Artun, 13. Lewis Price (GK), 14. Matthew Robinson, 15. Matthew Richards, 16. Robert Dickinson.
