Bolton Wanderers clarity on Wigan Athletic clash as Portsmouth League One question remains

Bolton Wanderers' away clash against Wigan Athletic in League One should be able to go ahead as planned and not have to be rearranged after the Latics were dumped out of the Papa John's Trophy.

Wanderers are poised to head to the DW Stadium on Saturday, April 2, for a 3pm League One clash.

The Latics were in action in the Papa John's Trophy last night at the semi-final stage of the competition as they hosted League Two Sutton United at the DW Stadium.

Leam Richardson's side went behind thanks to Will Randall's finish for Sutton before James McClean equalised not long after.

The game ended up going to extra time and then to penalties, with Sutton goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis proving the hero as he saved efforts from Max Power and Tendayi Darikwa as the visitors booked their place at Wembley.

Sutton will discover their opponents this evening as the victors of Rotherham United and Hartlepool United will face them.

The London side will head to Wembley on Sunday, April 3, to play the final of the competition.

And because of Sutton reaching the final rather than the Latics, it means Wigan's League One clash against Bolton which is due to take place that weekend along with the Wembley showpiece, is able to go ahead as originally planned and will not have to rearranged because of Richardson's no longer facing the prospect of a trip to the capital.

The Latics won the reverse fixture at the University of Bolton Stadium in October 4-0 thanks to goals from Will Keane, Callum Lang and a James McClean brace.

There remains a question mark over the clash against Portsmouth which is due to take place on Saturday, March 26.
