Bolton Wanderers lineup vs Wigan Athletic as Gethin Jones & Kieran Sadlier decisions made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made two changes to his side to take on Wigan Athletic this lunchtime.

Wanderers have made the short journey to the DW Stadium to take on the Latics in League One as both teams return to action after the international break.

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

Leam Richardson's side also beat Wanderers in a penalty shootout towards the start of the campaign in the Carabao Cup.

Now, at the business end of the season, both sides are seeking three points to help achieve their objectives this campaign.

Wanderers beat Crewe Alex 1-0 the last time out on the road before the international break, and Bolton boss Evatt has made two changes from that side for this afternoon's game.

James Trafford starts as goalkeeper, while the back three this afternoon is poised to line up as Will Aimson, Ricardo Almeida Santos and George Johnston.

Gethin Jones returns to the starting team as right wing-back, while Kieran Sadlier is poised to line up on the left in place of Declan John, who misses out of the matchday 18.

In the heart of midfield, MJ Williams will be partnered in the middle of the park by Aaron Morley.

And upfront, Dion Charles is poised to be partnered by Elias Kachunga with Dapo Afolayan in the number 10 role.

On the bench this afternoon for Wanderers are Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Amadou Bakayoko, Xavier Amaechi, George Thomason, Alex Baptiste, Liam Gordon and Kyle Dempsey.
