Bolton Wanderers v Derby County: LIVE

After two successive hard-fought away draws, Bolton Wanderers return to the Macron Stadium for their second home game of the season as they welcome Derby County.

A first three points of the season would see Wanderers overtake today’s visitors, who’ve started the campaign with one win, one draw and one defeat but have just wrapped up the signing of Tom Lawrence in a £7 million deal. Alright for some.

Phil Parkinson sticks with the starting lineup that began Tuesday night’s 0-0 draw at Birmingham City, which means Adam Armstrong retains his place alongside Gary Madine up front.

The visitors leave new signing Lawrence on the bench, alongside former Bolton loanee Jacob Butterfield as well as international striker Chris Martin, which says a lot. They line up with plenty of attacking threat from Andreas Weimann and Johnny Russell in the wide positions and David Nugent and Matej Vydra up front. They have three former England internationals in their starting lineup, in Nugent, Scott Carson and Tom Huddlestone.
