We said: Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa Under-21s

The points could be shared in Bolton, as the home side may be fatigued from negotiating a frantic fixture list since midway through September, allowing Villa's young guns to secure a draw. The visitors may have leaked lots of goals this season, but they will be aided by a special guest star - and they pose a significant threat up front. Read more.
