Bolton Wanderers lineup for Atherton Collieries pre-season friendly confirmed

Ian Evatt has named the starting XI for Bolton Wanderers' second pre-season friendly ahead of the League One campaign as the Trotters travel to take on Atherton Collieries.

Wanderers have made the short trip to Colls for a now usual pre-season friendly.

Bolton played their first match of pre-season over the weekend and were 3-1 winners over Longridge Town.

And Evatt has given starts to a couple of players who were not involved over the weekend.

Joel Dixon starts as goalkeeper once more, with a back four of Harry Brockbank, Wil Aimson, Alex Baptiste, and Declan John.

A central midfield trio of MJ Williams, Andrew Tutte and Josh Sheehan start in the engine room.

And upfront, Xavier Amaechi and Dapo Afolayan will play either side of Amadou Bakayoko.
