Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Portsmouth confirmed as Kyle Dempsey & Declan John decisions made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made three changes to his side to take on Portsmouth this evening from the team which drew against Wigan Athletic over the weekend.

Wanderers picked up a point on the road over the weekend as they came from behind against rivals Wigan and will be seeking all three when they return home for the 8pm kick-off versus Pompey.

This evening's game has been rearranged due to the international break as both teams had players called up for their countries when the fixture was originally due to be played at the end of March.
