Trophy Team News | Oldham Athletic v Wanderers

Forrester and Dempsey arrivals Oldham

Wanderers hand debuts to goalkeeper Nathan Broome and defender Sean Hogan as they complete the group phase of the Vertu Trophy.

Boss Steven Schumacher changes his full line-up from Saturday’s League One win over Port Vale but still names a strong side to face League Two Oldham.

Will Forrester makes a welcome return after being out since April through injury, while Kyle Dempsey also starts for the first time this season following a goal-scoring appearance from the bench against Vale.

The Whites have already secured their progress through to the knock-out stage but will still be seeking a fifth straight win to guarantee top spot and a home tie in the last 32 against a Latics side which can’t go through.

Wanderers: Broome, Dacres-Cogley, Taylor, Dalby, Osei-Tutu, Forrester, Morley, Dempsey, Forss, Hogan, McAtee. Substitutes: Miller, Cissoko, Sharples-Ahmed, Warren, Lawrence, Irwin, Ritchie.

Oldham: Oldham: Donaghy; Ogle, Leake, Woods, Stevens, Sutton, Quigley, Morris, Hawkes, Harratt, Simeu. Substitutes: Hudson, Fondop, Drummond, Olson, Butterfield-Mokone, Steele, Amos.

Referee: Greg Rollason
