Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Ipswich Town confirmed as two summer signings start

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has named two summer transfer window signings for today's League One opener against Ipswich Town.

Wanderers begin the campaign this afternoon and are on the road against the Tractor Boys. It pits two of the big names in the division against one another on the opening day of the campaign.

The Whites did the double over Ipswich last season, which included a memorable 5-2 win at Portman Road. Dapo Afolayan's brace, Eoin Doyle's penalty, plus goals from Josh Sheehan and George Johnston handed Wanderers the three points on that occasion.
