On-trial Chelsea pair Phil Younghusband and James Simmonds will line up for the Iron's reserves against Leeds United at Elland Road on Wednesday afternoon (2pm kick-off).

The duo, both aged 20, have been training with the club for just over a week with a view to a longer-term move, following the success of fellow Stamford Bridge prodigy Jack Cork at Glanford Park.

They will both start the match in midfield, as Tony Daws names quite an experienced line-up.

Josh Lillis will line up in goal, with Andrew Wright, Jake Picton, Jack Webster and Ian Baraclough completing the back four.

The midfield will consist of Kevin Horlock, James Simmonds and Phil Younghusband, with Peter Winn, Tomi Ameobi and Jonathan Forte lining up in attack.
