Crewe Alex vs Bolton Wanderers LIVE: Early team news, build-up, match updates and reaction

Bolton Wanderers are seeking to enter the international break on a high with three points this afternoon when they take on struggling Crewe Alexandra.

Wanderers sit 11th in League One at present and are seeking to bounce back from last weekend's loss to Plymouth Argyle.

Bolton are 11 points from the play-offs as things stand and any hopes of reaching the top six by the end of April appear slim at this moment in time.

But they have eight games left to go of their season and who knows what might happen between now and then if they can string together a run of victories between nowand then, coupled with results of other teams.

This afternoon sees Wanderers make the fairly short journey to Cheshire to take on Crewe, who sit bottom of League One and facing the prospect of relegation back to League Two, from which they were promoted in 2020.
