Bolton Wanderers team vs Sunderland confirmed as Bodvarsson, Afolayan and Sadlier decisions made

Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has made one change from the side which beat Shrewsbury Town for the clash against Sunderland.

Wanderers return to the University of Bolton Stadium this afternoon and take on the Black Cats, who are sitting second in League One at present.

Today's encounter has been a Premier League clash in years gone by and looking at today's fixture list in the EFL, there are few bigger clashes on paper this afternoon, including in the Championship.

Wanderers were edged out 1-0 at the Stadium of Light in the reverse fixture in September, with Carl Winchester's goal proving decisive and Bolton will be aiming to make amends for that loss, in which they performed well and deserved at least a point.

And for today's clash, Evatt has opted to make just one change from the side which beat Shrewsbury Town last weekend.
