In another busy match-day for Wanderers, the B Team takes on Derby County’s U21s in the Central League.
The young Whites will be looking to follow up their win at Huddersfield Town a week ago with another positive result against the title challengers.
The Rams have won all four of their league fixtures so far and can overhaul Salford City at the top of the table if they win their games in hand.
Derby – a Category One academy – also field an U21 side in Premier League 2 and so are likely to provide a stern test for Andy Taylor’s side in the game at Lostock (KO 1pm).
Wanderers are also without a number of their more senior players, with forward Ben Andreucci the latest to move out on loan to gain first-team football following his move to National League North side Darlington last weekend.
Meanwhile, Wanderers’ U17s are also in action this afternoon (Tuesday) with a long trip to face Luton Town in the semi-finals of the Professional Development League Cup at the Hatters’ training ground.
