Bolton Wanderers are in Papa Johns Trophy action tomorrow night against Leeds United's under-21s.
The Whites return to the University of Bolton Stadium for the second time in the space of four days to take on the Premier League side's young guns. They host Leeds' under-21s.
Ian Evatt's side currently sit top of the Northern Group B. It follows a victory over Crewe Alex and a penalty shootout defeat following a draw last month versus Tranmere Rovers.

Bolton can confirm their place in the competition's next round with three points tomorrow evening. A victory would also see them pick up £10,000 in prize money.
Defender Eoin Toal will miss the encounter due to a slight injury and would have been anticipated to play a part had he been fit. Nevertheless, Evatt will name a strong team for the clash and could make several changes from the side which drew against Barnsley over the weekend.
Joel Dixon is likely to start as goalkeeper, as he had done in the previous two group games. In front of him in the back three, Will Aimson is expected to be involved and start, while with Toal absent due to injury, Gethin Jones and George Johnston could continue.
In central midfield, Sheehan would be expected to start and could line up alongside Aaron Morley, as they did in last match against Tranmere. Kieran Sadlier could be given the nod in the number 10 role.
In the wing-back slots, Lloyd Isgrove could be handed his first start since last November on the right. After not being in the squad over the weekend, Declan John could line up on the left.
Upfront, Evatt could continue with Dapo Afolayan after his positive performance over the weekend. Amadou Bakayoko could also come into the fray, having been a substitute in the draw against Barnsley.
Bolton Wanderers predicted starting XI vs Leeds United under-21s: Dixon; Jones, Aimson, Johnston; Isgrove, Sheehan, Morley, John; Sadlier; Bakayoko, Afolayan.
