As expected Town will field a young reserves side at Leicester this evening (KO 7pm). Only Alun Armstrong has more than fleeting first team experience.

With Lewis Price away with Wales, Shane Supple takes over in goal. Supple is one of four Irish U17 internationals in the squad, full-back Michael Synnott also starts, while midfielder Cathal Lordan and striker Billy Clarke are on the bench.

Central defender Chris Hogg plays his second reserve game since his loan at Boston was cancelled.

Reserves: Shane Supple, Michael Synnott, Stuart Boardley, Scott Mitchell, Jerome Sobers, Chris Hogg, Daniel Flack, Ben Patten, Alun Armstrong, Darryl Knights, Liam Craig. Subs: Billy Clarke, Scott Peat, Adem Atay, Fraser Beveridge, Cathal Lordan.
