STRONG LINE UP FOR CITY: Experienced line up for Tuesday's reserve match

Admission £4.20 / £2.25 juniors - on gate

Latics manager Roberto Martinez is urging Latics fans to come to Robin Park on Tuesday night as Graham Barrow is able to field a strong looking side to face Manchester City's second string.

Cameroonian trialist Modeste M'Bami - who has been training with the club this week - will feature in the game, after his contract came to an end at Olympique de Marseille.

Martinez has already talked of his pedigree: "He has Champions League experience and has scored seven goals in 28 international appearances for his country. We want to give him a bit of match experience before making a decision."

French international Olivier Kapo will make his first appearance in a Latics shirt since damaging knee ligament on the pre-season trip of Austria, and lines up alongside James McCarthy, Antonio Amaya and Rachid Bouaouzan, while Martinez says he may well also make 'one or two late inclusions' to help top up some of the players' match fitness.
