Having not won since New Year's Day three points are an absolute must today if Bolton Wanderers are to keep up the pace on the top two in League One.
This week they welcome Walsall to the Macron Stadium, having lost the reverse fixture against today's visitors 1-0 earlier this season.
I think, maybe, Parkinson may have switched his system to a 3-5-2, or potentially a narrow 4-4-2, as Adam Le Fondre is handed his first start since his return to Bolton. Let's just hope he's not ridiculously deployed on the wing... Filipe Morais retains his place, I suspect as a right wing-back, while Andrew Taylor returns after missing the visit to MK Dons with an injury picked up in the warm-up. Hoorah to no Dean Moxey todaym hopefully. For some unbeknown reason Liam Trotter also comes back into the side, while James Henry doesn't even make the squad. There's also a return on the bench for goalkeeper Mark Howard.
The visitors look to be equally packing out the midfield with a 5-4-1 approach. Wanderers will need to keep an eye on the lively, diminutive Erhun Oztumer, who has scored more goals than any of our players with eight from midfield this season.
Here are today's starting lineups, keep up with all the action from the Macron and let us know your thoughts on all things Wanderers-related in the Comments section below.
