Bolton Wanderers team news as Ian Evatt makes 10 changes for Lincoln City fixture

Ian Evatt has made 10 changes to his starting XI as Bolton Wanderers return to action on Saturday afternoon against Lincoln City.

The Whites have gone nearly two weeks since their last match, a penalty shootout defeat to rivals Tranmere Rovers in the Papa John's Trophy, due to last weekend's game against Portsmouth being suspended with both clubs having players away on international duty. A full fortnight has elapsed since Bolton defeated Peterborough 1-0 in their last League One outing and they will be aiming to keep their undefeated streak alive.

Wanderers have won their last three league outings seeing them climb to 6th in the table and welcome 12th placed Lincoln to the University of Bolton Stadium. With a much-changed side taking to the field last time out at Prenton Park, it's unsurprising to see manager Evatt make plenty of changes once again.

It's a near completely different starting XI with centre-back George Johnston the only survivor from the defeat, which had ended 2-2 after 90 minutes. However, only one change has been made to the team that started against Peterborough two weeks ago with Kieran Lee replacing Kyle Dempsey.

That means Dapo Afolayan remains contained to the bench despite his late winner against Posh. There also remains no place for forward Kieran Sadlier who once again scored after starting on Merseyside. Youngster Conor Carty, who bagged the equaliser on his debut, doesn't make the match-day squad.

Bolton starting XI vs Lincoln: Trafford; Jones, Santons, Johnston; Bradley, Williams, Thomason, Iredale; Lee, Kachunga, Charles.

Substitutes : Sadlier, Bodvarsson, Bakayoko, Aimson, Morley, Afolayan, Dempsey.
