Bolton is also likely to rotate his lineup for tonight's game, after a hectic schedule to start the season with many games in a few days.

The visitors also seem to have no injury concerns before the trip to DW Stadium, allowing manager Ian Evatt to rotate his team as he wishes.

Wigan will likely look to rotate the team after another midweek game.

On the other hand, they seem to be looking to move forward without injury concerns despite this schedule. On the weekend they beat Charlton in League One.

There is only one health concern for Wigan Athletic manager Leam Richardson to cope with thanks to an almost completely healthy team. Midfielder Gwion Edwards will not be in the game.

Since 2014 they have met in 6 games, of which Wigan Athletic has won 1 game and Bolton Wanderers 2, drawing 3 times.

The last match in which these two clubs met was on Championship matchday 38 on March 16, 2019, when Wigan Athletic beat Bolton Wanderers 5-2.

Talented player Antoni Sarcevic is a key piece in Ian Evatt's scheme. A great attacking midfielder, very versatile, capable of playing multiple roles on the offensive front. Very fast, a feat that makes him particularly effective on the attack front, he is often praised for his spirit of sacrifice and strength of character. Equipped with an excellent sense of position, he is also adept as an assistant.

Will Keane was the striker who at Old Trafford thought would make it to the first team. He was the center forward of the generation that won the youth cup in 2011, still remembered today. There were also Lingard, Johnstone, or even his twin brother Michael, today Everton center-back, then right-back.
After several injuries and many team changes, he trained for a few weeks with Wigan until, finally, last year, he was offered a professional contract in the third division of English football.

Wigan:

B. Amos; M. Power, J. Whatmough, K. Watts, T. Darikwa; C. Lang, T. Naylor, J. Cousins, J. Jones; W. Keane, C. Wyke.

D.T. Leam Richardson.

 

Bolton:

J. Dixon; G. Jones, R. Santos, G. Johnson, D. John; J. Williams, J. Sheehan, L. Isgrove, O. Afolayan; A. Sarcevic, E. Doyle.

D.T. Ian Evatt.

The central referee for this Wigan vs Bolton will be Thomas Bramall; Steven Meredith, first row; Andrew Dallison; second row; and Thomas Parsons, fourth official.

Bolton is in a similar situation to Wigan, like their hosts, they also advanced from the first round earlier this month.

Barnsley visited the University of Bolton Stadium but were eliminated by Bolton on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

In addition to this, they have also found themselves in financial chaos in recent years, which has seen them fall from the Premier League to League One over time.

The Trotters will look to surprise and eliminate Wigan, thus advancing to the third round of the Carabao Cup.

At the Carabao Cup, The Latics struggled to reach the second round of the competition, after beating Hull City on penalties in the first round. This after a tough 1-1 draw in regular time, played at the MKM Stadium.

After improving a lot and advancing to the round, coach Leam Richardson will be hoping that his team can triumph over Bolton Wanderers, in order to advance to the third round and use that emotional boost in the English Football League as well.

The Wigan vs Bolton match will be played at the DW Stadium, in Wigan, with a capacity of 25,138 people.

Tomorrow night from Wigan, in the North West of England, the activity of the Second Round of the Carabao Cup will continue.

In a match of great rivalry, Leam Richardson's Latics host Ian Evatt's Trotters at DW Stadium.
