Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made eight changes to his side for the clash against Leeds United's under-21s from the team which drew to Barnsley over the weekend.
The Whites return to the University of Bolton Stadium for the second time in the space of four days this evening to take on the Premier League side's young guns.
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.

Wanderers face Accrington Stanley in League One this weekend. And with an eye on that game likely, Evatt has opted to make eight changes from the side which started at the weekend.
Joel Dixon starts as goalkeeper, as he had done in the previous two group games. In front of him in the back three, Will Aimson starts, while with Eoin Toal absent due to injury, Gethin Jones continues and Jack Iredale moves in to the trio.
In central midfield, Josh Sheehan starts and line ups alongside Aaron Morley, as they did in last Papa Johns match against Tranmere. Kyle Dempsey is given the nod in the number 10 role.
In the wing-back slots, Lloyd Isgrove is handed his first start since last November on the right. After not being in the squad over the weekend, Declan John lines up on the left.
Upfront, Evatt continues with Jon Dadi Bodvarsson upfront. He is partnered this evening by Elias Kachunga.
On the bench this evening for Wanderers are George Johnston, Kieran Sadlier, Dion Charles, Amadou Bakayoko, Kieran Lee, Conor Bradley and Owen Beck.
