Wanderers return back to the University of Bolton Stadium in the first of two home games in the space of five days.

Ian Evatt's side are seeking to narrow the gap to the play-offs which currently stands at seven points and have 10 matches left of their League One campaign remaining.

The Shrimps meanwhile are aiming to survive in League One and are two points from safety heading into this evening's clash.

Wanderers returned to winning ways over the weekend with a 3-0 victory on the road against Gillingham.

And Evatt has opted to make one change from the side which won in Kent for this evening's clash at the University of Bolton Stadium.

James Trafford continues as goalkeeper, while the back three of Will Aimson, Ricardo Almeida Santos and George Johnston which started the win over Gillingham also carries on, with Gethin Jones remaining on compassionate leave following the death of his mother.

The familiar wing-back combination of Marlon Fossey and Declan John should line up once again.

Kyle Dempsey missed taking on his old club Gillingham over the weekend due to illness and a groin injury.

In the number 10 department, the Bolton boss has named Dapo Afolayan while this evening's strike partnership will be Dion Charles and Amadou Bakayoko.

On the bench this evening for Wanderers are Joel Dixon, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Xavier Amaechi, Kieran Sadlier, George Thomason, Alex Baptiste and Liam Gordon.
