STOKE CITY will give their young players more experience at reserve team level this evening when they entertain Fulham at Nantwich Town's Weaver Stadium.

Mark O'Connor's side includes young professionals Louis Moult and Matthew Lund, but is largely made up of Academy scholars for the final Barclays Premier Reserve League South game of the season in which they take on the Cottagers (7.00pm kick-off).

The youngsters have given a good account of themselves at this level in recent weeks and this will be more valuable experience for them in the Fulham match.

CITY: Parton, Hedley, Wint, Jackson, Cohen, Connor, Harrison, Lund, Vickers, Moult, Mitchell. Subs: Stockhall, Clarkson, Dawson.
