Bolton Wanderers would have hoped for better results in their recent matches. In their last six matches, they have managed just three victories along with a draw and two defeats. They are just climbing onto a promotion qualification spot in the League One. Bolton will fancy their chances to beat Barnsley and advance onto the next round.
Barnsley’s recent fixtures have produced poor results for them. They have earned just two wins to go with a draw and three losses in their last six matches. Such inconsistencies have marked Barnsley’s season until now. They need to correct them if they are to reverse their fortunes. A Bolton win is certainly predicted but Barnsley would believe in themselves to cause a upset.
Given that it is a knockout competition, both the coaches will like to name their strongest respective XIs. However, a few rotations can be expected to give some players rest from the non-stop league football.
Bolton Wanderers possible line-up: Trafford, Jones, Santos, Johnston, Bradley, Sheehan, Williams, Iredale, Lee, Kachunga, Charles
