Academy To Face Bolton

Everton's under 18s are still looking for their first win of the season.

They were on the end of a 2-1 defeat last weekend, in what has been described as a poor performance.

Coach Neil Dewsnip is looking for better this Saturday when his side take on Bolton.

"It was a disappointing performance and we only really started to perform when we were 2-0 down," said Dewsnip.

"It was a good reaction to being in an unfortunate situation," he added.

This weekend the Blues are likely to be without John Paul Kissock, who is still recovering from a knee problem, and Jack Rodwell.

Rodwell is on England under 16 duty on Friday night against Wales.
