Bolton Wanderers confirmed lineup vs Portsmouth as two changes made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made two changes from the side which started last weekend's draw against Gillingham for today's game against Portsmouth.

Wanderers have made the journey down to Fratton Park aiming to return to winning ways in League One.

Evatt's side are aiming to build on the point picked up at home in a comeback against Gillingham last weekend, which ended a run of three straight losses in the division.

Today's hosts Pompey are aiming for their first win in three matches and Danny Cowley will be seeking a response from his side to the last time they were at Fratton Park, a 4-0 loss to Ipswich Town.

And Evatt has made two changes for this afternoon's encounter from the side which picked up a point against the Gills.

Joel Dixon retains his place as Wanderers goalkeeper, while the back four will line up as Lloyd Isgrove, captain Ricardo Almeida Santos, Will Aimson and Declan John as the back four.

In central midfield, MJ Williams is poised to sit in front of the back four, with Kieran Lee alongside him.

And the front four this afternoon is anticipated to line up as Elias Kachunga on the right, Eoin Doyle through the middle with Dapo Afolayan behind him and Nathan Delfouneso on the left.

On the bench this afternoon for Wanderers are Matt Gilks, George Johnston, Josh Sheehan, Harry Brockbank, George Thomason, Alex Baptiste and Liam Gordon.
