Bolton Wanderers confirmed starting lineup and matchday squad vs Rotherham United

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has made no changes from the side which beat Ipswich Town last weekend for today's clash against Rotherham United.

Wanderers are back in action today in League One a week on from the 5-2 thrashing of the Tractor Boys which helped see them leap up to third in the table.

Today, a crowd of some 20,000 fans could be at the University of Bolton Stadium for the club's family day, with ticket prices set at £10 for adults and £5 for kids.

It could be quite an occasion at the UniBol today as the Millers - a team relegated from the Championship last season - make their way to BL6.

The Wanderers team news is out as Evatt has named the 18 players involved for this afternoon's encounter.

And he has named exactly the same matchday squad and starting XI as last Saturday.

Joel Dixon starts as goalkeeper, while the back four lines up as Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, George Johnston and Liam Gordon.

In central midfield, MJ Williams continues in front of the back four, with skipper Antoni Sarcevic and Josh Sheehan in front of him in what has become Bolton's first choice trio in the middle of the park.

And for the front three, Lloyd Isgrove, Eoin Doyle and Dapo Afolayan line up from right to left.

On the bench for Wanderers this afternoon are Matt Gilks, Nathan Delfouneso, Will Aimson, Kieran Lee, Elias Kachunga, George Thomason and Alex Baptiste.
