Bolton Wanderers v Wigan Athletic: Lineups and Commentary

It's an old-fashioned Lancashire hotpot at the Reebok Stadium. Wigan have won four out of six and are fighting for a playoff spot. Bolton have won three out of six, but mid-table mediocrity is all they have left to achieve this season. There will be passion in the stands, but will the emotion also appear on the pitch?

It's the second home match in a row for Bolton, and the second consecutive Lancashire derby as well.  Dougie Freedman has gone back to the 4-5-1 for today's match.  The manager has also kept the same back four from the midweek clean sheet against Blackpool FC.  I think that is important, but all the talk in the terraces (and on Twitter) will be about the attacking formation.
