Bolton Wanderers confirmed team vs Stockport County as Eoin Doyle decision made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made two changes from the side which beat Crewe Alexandra for this evening's FA Cup first round replay against Stockport County.

Wanderers have made the short journey to Edgeley Park aiming to make the second round and a clash against Rotherham United.

Backed by some 5,000 away supporters in the first game a few weeks ago, County took a shock lead when Scott Quigley put them in front, but Wanderers rallied and got back on level terms when Eoin Doyle equalised and then went ahead thanks to Kachunga.

But County equalised in first half stoppage time when Ben Whitfield slotted home, with the tie being taken to a replay at Edgeley Park and the game being played this evening.

Last time out, Wanderers beat Crewe 2-0 and Evatt has made two changes from last Friday's win over the Railwaymen.

Joel Dixon lines up as goalkeeper with Lloyd Isgrove at right-back and Declan John at left-back, with Ricardo Santos partnered at the back by George Johnston.

In central midfield, MJ Williams misses out due to an illness and is replaced by George Thomason, with Kieran Lee and Josh Sheehan in front of him.

And upfront, Evatt has put Elias Kachunga on the right, with Amadou Bakayoko through the middle in place of the injured Doyle, and Dapo Afolayan on the left flank.

On the bench this evening for Wanderers are Matt Gilks, Nathan Delfouneso, Xavier Amaechi, Will Aimson, Alex Baptiste, Liam Gordon, Matthew Tweedley, Mitchell Henry and Arran Pettifer.

Meanwhile, former Wanderers skipper Antoni Sarcevic starts for County against his old team this evening.
