Match begins: 12:00 (UTC)

The season is still fairly new and the Professional Development League table has to be read with caution. So far Wigan U23 find themselves in 5th position and Nottingham U23 are placed 2nd.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Nottingham U23 form and stats

One match played away so far in the Professional Development League for Nottingham U23 and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from 11 games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Sheffield Utd U23 (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The Professional Development League match ended in a draw 2-2. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Barnsley U23.

Drawing 2-2 against Sheffield Utd U23 after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

It's early days yet, but Nottingham U23 has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
