Town have sent a strong reserves side to Cobham for this afternoon’s behind-closed-doors friendly against Chelsea. Jaime Peters, who recently returned from his loan at AFC Bournemouth, is amongst those set to face the Premier League side’s second string.

Also involved will be Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Josh Carson, Reece Wabara, Nathan Ellington, Jack Ainsley, Tommy Smith, Luke Hyam and Academy youngsters such as Cody Cropper and Jonny Leddy.

Boss Paul Jewell is set to watch the team in action with coach Sean McCarthy in charge of the reserves this season.
