Bolton Wanderers confirmed lineup vs Salford City - one change made

Ian Evatt has made one change to the Bolton Wanderers team to take on Salford City this evening.

Wanderers have travelled the short distance to the Peninsula Stadium to take on the Ammies in a Greater Manchester derby.

Bolton won the previous meeting 2-0 at the University of Bolton Stadium in November and can do the double this evening with three points.

But that would involve beating an Ammies side which are yet to taste defeat at home this season.

Wanderers head into the encounter on the back of three points picked up at the weekend over Harrogate Town, while Salford beat Stevenage.

Bolton sit in the top three heading into the encounter while the Ammies are ninth but only three points from the League Two play-offs.

And for this evening's game, Evatt has made one change to the side which started the win over the Sulphurites on Saturday.

The back four and goalkeeper remain unchanged, with Matt Gilks playing behind a defence of Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, Alex Baptiste and Declan John.

The midfield pair of MJ Williams and Kieran Lee also keep their places.

Marcus Maddison, who started the game against Harrogate but was taken off at half-time, has now left Bolton for personal reasons.

His replacement on Saturday, George Thomason, has been handed a place in the team from the start this evening.

And Eoin Doyle is joined in the Bolton attack by Lloyd Isgrove and Oladapo Afolayan, who are expected to line up either side of the Irishman on the right and left flanks respectively.

On the bench this evening for Bolton are. Nathan Delfouneso, Ryan Delaney, Andrew Tutte, Shaun Miller, Harry Brockbank, Arthur Gnahoua and Zack Elbouzedi.
