Sunderland will be visiting University of Bolton Stadium on Saturday for their League One tie with Bolton Wanderers, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Bolton Wanderers will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-1 League One victory versus Shrewsbury Town. It’s our opinion that The Trotters will probably use a 3-5-2 formation for this one with James Shea, Tom Lockyer, Gabriel Osho, Kal Naismith, James Bree, Luke Berry, Glen Rea, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Amarii Bell, Elijah Adebayo and Admiral Muskwe.
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Bolton Wanderers gaffer Ian Evatt to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Josh Sheehan won’t play.
Possible Bolton Wanderers team versus Sunderland
Sunderland head into the encounter following a 1-0 League One win over Portsmouth in their previous game. We’re of the thinking that The Black Cats could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, settling for Thomas Kaminski, Darragh Lenihan, Jan Paul van Hecke, Scott Wharton, Ryan Nyambe, Lewis Travis, John Buckley, Joe Rothwell, Tayo Edun, Reda Khadra and Sam Gallagher.
Sunderland manager Lee Johnson has to currently contend with reduced team options. Jordan Willis (Patella rupture), Luke O'Nien (Shoulder Injury) and Nathan Broadhead (Hamstring Injury) won’t be making appearances.
