Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Scunthorpe United confirmed: two changes made

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has made two changes to his side to take on Scunthorpe United this evening.

The Trotters return to the University of Bolton Stadium for a 7pm kick-off against the Iron.

Evatt's side are aiming to extend their five match unbeaten run, which has included three victories on the bounce and taken them to within three points of the League Two play-offs heading into the encounter.

Standing in their way this evening, however, are an in-form Scunthorpe side under former Bolton defender Neil Cox who have won their last four matches in succession.

Speaking ahead of this evening's game, Wanderers boss Evatt had hinted that changes could be made to freshen things up and rotate players in the busy fixture schedule Bolton have at the moment.

And Evatt has done just that by making two changes from the side which beat Southend United at the weekend.

Matt Gilks continues in goal while the back four which has performed so well of late in the form of Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos, Alex Baptiste and Declan John remains unchanged.

There is a change in the middle of the park, however, as George Thomason comes in to partner MJ Williams in the engine room, while Kieran Lee drops out of the matchday squad.

Eoin Doyle continues as Bolton's number nine, but there is a change in the trio of attacking players behind him as Lloyd Isgove comes in to line up with Oladapo Afolayan and Nathan Delfouneso.

On the bench this evening for Wanderers are Brandon Comley, Antoni Sarcevic, Marcus Maddison, Andrew Tutte, Shaun Miller, Arthur Gnahoua and Ben Jackson.
