Stockport County vs Bolton Wanderers LIVE: Build-up, team news, match action & reaction

Bolton Wanderers are in pre-season friendly action once again this afternoon when they take on Stockport County.

Wanderers have won their opening two clashes in pre-season against non-league opposition. They beat Longridge Town 9-0 and followed it up with a 3-1 victory over the weekend versus Chorley.

This afternoon, Ian Evatt is taking his side to County's training ground for a behind closed doors workout. The game is not being held at either the University of Bolton Stadium or Edgeley Park owing to pitch renovation work at both grounds.

It will be the first taste of EFL opposition for Wanderers in pre-season after the Hatters were promoted to League Two as National League champions. Clashes against Watford, Carlisle United and Huddersfield Town will also follow in the weeks to come.

The game is taking place at Carrington but with no fans in attendance. However, we will be there to bring you updates from the 1pm kick-off, so stick with us for the team news and updates throughout the afternoon.
