Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Shrewsbury Town confirmed as formation & Bodvarsson decisions made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made no changes to his team to take on Shrewsbury Town this afternoon.

Wanderers are seeking to make it two wins on the trot in League One this afternoon with victory on the road against Salop.

Bolton can also do the double with victory over Steve Cotterill's side, following the 2-1 victory at the University of Bolton Stadium in early October.

Wanderers returned to winning ways last weekend against Ispwich Town, where Evatt set up his team in a 3-5-2 formation.

And he has made no changes from the team which began the victory over the Tractor Boys and opted to go with the same starting XI.

James Trafford had a solid debut last weekend versus the Tractor Boys and keeps his place ahead of Joel Dixon.

The trio of Gethin Jones, Ricardo Almeida Santos and George Johnston are likely to line up as a trio once more.

In this formation, the wing-backs of Marlon Fossey and Declan John would continue on the right and left respectively.

In central midfield, MJ Williams are likely to be partnered with Kieran Lee and Aaron Morley, the latter of whom made his Bolton debut last weekend against Ipswich.

Upfront, Evatt has opted to partner Dion Charles with Amadou Bakayoko this afternoon.

On the bench this afternoon for Wanderers are Joel Dixon, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Will Aimson, Dapo Afolayan, George Thomason, Aalex Baptiste and Liam Gordon.
