Bolton Wanderers reserves play their final league game of 2006 this evening as they take on their Liverpool counterparts in Leyland.

Jamaican wing back Ricardo Gardner will once again be given the chance to get in some much needed match practice as coach Jimmy Phillips names a squad mixed with youth and experience.

Senior professionals and seasoned internationals such as Idan Tal, Ali Al-Habsi, Andranik Teimourian and Ricardo Vaz-Te will also be amongst the Wanderers starting eleven.

At the start of last season goals from Jarostaw Fojut and Jared Borgetti where not enough for Bolton as Liverpool came out on top in a five goal thriller at the County Ground.

The reverse fixture played at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground later on in the season ended goalless.

Bolton Wanderers Reserves: Ali Al-Habsi, Mark Charlesworth, Ricardo Gardner, Matthew Cassidy, Mark Ellis, Blazej Augustyn, James Sinclair, Andranik Teimourian, Johann Smith, Idan Tal, Ricardo Vaz-Té
