Bolton Wanderers team vs Grimsby Town confirmed: Ian Evatt makes one change from Harrogate win

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made one change from last weekend's victory against Harrogate Town for the League Two clash against Grimsby Town

The Trotters made nine changes from midweek for the game against the Mariners, where only Ryan Delaney and Billy Crellin kept their places.

Wanderers head coach Evatt has now reverted back to the side which gave Bolton their first three points of the season against the Yorkshire side last weekend.

The only change is that Jak Hickman replaces the injured Gethin Jones in the right wing-back role, with Wanderers poised to line up in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Hickman came on as a substitute for Jones in that match just before half-time when the former Carlisle man could no longer continue.

It means Crellin is once again the man Evatt turns to inbetween the sticks, with a back three of Delaney, Ricardo Almeida Santos and Harry Brockbank in front of him.

Hickman takes his place on the right hand side with Jamie Mascoll on the left, with experienced duo Andrew Tutte and skipper Antoni Sarcevic in central midfield.

Ali Crawford is poised to operate in the number 10 role, behind the strike partnership of Nathan Delfouneso and Eoin Doyle.

On the bench this afternoon, there is no substitute goalkeeper for Wanderers.

Evatt has named Liam Gordon, Brandon Comley, Reiss Greenidge, Ronan Darcy, Arthur Gnahoua and Alex Baptiste on the bench, while there is also a place for teenage midfielder Regan Riley, who played in the midweek loss against Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Trophy.
