Last updated : 03 May 2004 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers reserves will be fighting for more than points tonight as they take on local rivals Manchester United at the Moss Lane ground in Altrincham.

Wanderers are rooted to the bottom of the FA Premier Reserve League following their 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week and have targeted both points and pride against the Red Devils.

Javi Moreno, Ricardo Vaz-Te, Dwight Pezzarossi and Ibrahim Ba are all named in the starting line up for the Trotters as they look to force their way into first team contention for the weekend clash against Aston Villa whilst goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts is also named in the line up having recovered from an injury picked up on international duty during Jamaica's win over Honduras last week.

United name a mixture of young professionals and academy graduates in their squad with Kieran Richardson, Mark Lynch, Danny Pugh and Chris Eagles all having tasted first team action in the past. The clash against Ricky Sbragia's side will be shown live on MUTV.
