Bolton Wanderers have made three changes from the side which lost against Accrington Stanley for the New Year's Day clash against Rotherham United.
In today's team news, Joel Dixon lines up as goalkeeper for Wanderers, with a back four in front of him as Adam Senior as right-back with Declan John playing as left-back, with Ricardo Almeida Santos and Will Aimson as the central defenders.
Central midfield today for Wanderers will be George Thomason and George Johnston, with Nathan Delfouneso playing in the number 10 role.

And upfront, Elias Kachunga is poised to line up on the right, with Dapo Afolayan on the left and Eoin Doyle through the middle.
There is no place in the squad for Kieran Lee or MJ Williams, while new signing Dion Charles has not been registered in time for today's game and Bolton await clearance on Xavier Aamechi's loan being extended.
No Williams or Lee means a relatively inexperienced engine room for Wanderers in comparision today with Thomason and Johnston likely to be the pair in the middle of the park for Bolton.
And fans on Twitter have highlighted the situation ahead of the encounter at the New York Stadium.
