Changes are expected this evening for Bolton Wanderers as they take on Morecambe.
Wanderers host the Shrimps this evening at the University of Bolton Stadium. The hosts will be aiming to continue their unbeaten start to the season.
Ian Evatt's side picked up a hard fought point on the road over the weekend against Port Vale in hot and humid conditions as the UK experienced another heatwave. The Bolton boss is planning to rotate his squad to preserve freshness in the team this evening.

Evatt said: "We’ve got the strength in depth and the flexibility to be able to rotate things and change things up and try and keep people fresh. We will be doing that, no doubt about it, we have to do that.
"The lads put in an incredible shift on Saturday in awful conditions, so there’s a bit of tiredness out there this morning but very much looking forward to the game tomorrow night.”
One change is certain as skipper Ricardo Santos is suspended for the encounter at the University of Bolton Stadium. Will Aimson came on at half-time of the weekend draw versus Port Vale and is the prime candidate to replace Santos in the middle of the back three.
Gethin Jones and George Johnston are anticipated to be either side of Aimson in the back three. James Trafford is expected to continue as goalkeeper.
In the wing-back area, Declan John could replace Jack Iredale on the left flank, with an intriguing choice on the right with either Conor Bradley or Kieran Sadlier the options. The central midfield area could remain as MJ Williams and Aaron Morley.
In the number 10 role, Kieran Lee is a candidate to come in to the team having been an unused substitute over the weekend. Upfront, Dapo Afolayan could be partnered by Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, the latter of whom could make his first League One start of the season so far.
Predicted Bolton Wanderers starting team vs Morecambe: Trafford; Jones, Aimson, Johnston; Bradley, Williams, Morley, John; Lee; Afolayan, Bodvarsson.
