Bolton Wanderers confirmed team against Morecambe - one change made and Antoni Sarcevic decision made

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has made one change to his side to take on Morecambe today.

Wanderers face a vital encounter on the road this afternoon against the Shrimps as third plays fourth in League Two.

Bolton are a point ahead of Morecambe heading into today's clash and can extend that advantage to four points with victory today.

It would be a big step towards confirming automatic promotion back to League One with two games left to go after the day's action.

A draw would see Bolton stay ahead of the hosts, but defeat for the Whites would mean Morecambe move two points clear of them and leapfrog Evatt;s side into the automatic promotion places.

And for today's vital clash, Evatt has made one change from the side which beat Carlisle United in midweek.

Matt Gilks lines up as goalkeeper while the back four is Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, Alex Baptiste and Ben Jackson, who comes in for the injured Declan John.

In central midfield, MJ Williams retains his place, as does Kieran Lee and George Thomason .

The attacking trio of Lloyd Isgrove, Eoin Doyle and Oladapo Afolayan keep their places.

Skipper Antoni Sarcevic returns to the matchday squad and is on the bench, along with Lukas Jensen, Nathan Delfouneso, Andrew Tutte, Shaun Miller, Harry Brockbank and Zack Elbouzedi.
