Stockport County boss Dave Challinor believes Antoni Sarcevic will have 'extra motivation' and potentially a point to prove when he takes on his old side Bolton Wanderers tomorrow.
Wanderers make the journey to Edgeley Park tomorrow evening to take on the Hatters in a first round replay in the FA Cup.
It follows a 2-2 draw at the University of Bolton Stadium earlier this month, which was missed by Sarcevic owing to an injury picked up in training.

The former Wanderers skipper made the shock move to the National League side last month, put pen to paper on a deal until 2024.
After missing the previous clash, Sarcevic is poised to play against his former side tomorrow evening.
And Challinor believes that the ex-Bolton captain will have extra motivation and potentially a bit of a point to prove against his former employers when he takes them on under the lights at Edgeley Park.
The Hatters boss told the Manchester Evening News: "Sarce came back in at the weekend (against Bromley) and was really good in terms of physical output, physical data and what he gives us technically.
“For him, it’s a big game. There’s probably a little bit extra motivation and a point to prove a little bit, and will thrive in that environment.
“Obviously he’s got friends at Bolton that he’ll want to get one over so he’ll be looking forward to it more than most.”
