Town's Academy sides meet Leicester this weekend with the U19s at Leicester and the U17s at home. The U17s find themselves in mid-table so far while the U19s, containing many of the stars of last year's FA Youth Cup run, are at the top of their league.

The U19s should welcome back Matt Bloomfield after injury.

Meanwhile Dean Bowditch may be included in tonight's Victory Shield game for England against Northern Ireland at Nene Park, Rushden. Sam Morrow is also currently away with his international squad, the Northern Irish U17s.
