Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Port Vale confirmed for League Two clash

Ian Evatt has named an unchanged team for this afternoon's League Two encounter against Port Vale.

Wanderers are on the road this afternoon and have made the relatively short journey down the M6 to Vale Park.

They head into the encounter sitting seventh in the table and just five points off the division's summit.

They have won eight of their last 10 games and have put themselves firmly in contention for promotion with their recent form.

Bolton take on a Port Vale side sitting 21st in the table and still seeking their first win under new boss Darrell Clarke, and Wanderers are aiming to make amends for the 6-3 loss earlier in the season when these sides last met.

And Evatt has made no changes from the side which beat Cambridge United 2-1 at the University of Bolton Stadium in midweek to take on the Valiants this afternoon.

The goalkeeper and defence remains unchanged and will like up with Matt Gilks inbetween the sticks, with Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, Alex Baptiste and Declan John in front.

In central midfield, MJ Williams continues alongside Kieran Lee.

The trio in behind striker Eoin Doyle will line up as Nathan Delfouneso, with Antoni Sarcevic in the number 10 role and Oladapo Afolayan on the left.

On the bench today for Bolton are Andrew Tutte, Shaun Miller, Harry Brockbank, Lloyd Isgrove, Arthur Gnahoua, George Thomason and Zack Elbouzedi.
