NEW signing Kieran Sadlier is on the bench for Wanderers' clash with Sunderland at the UniBol.

Ian Evatt has made one change from the side that won at Shrewsbury last weekend, with Dapo Afolayan replacing Amadou Bakayoko. 

The Whites enter the game in high spirits following back-to-back wins against Ipswich and Shrewsbury.

Meanwhile, the Black Cats recorded a 1-0 win against Portsmouth in their last outing thanks to Elliot Embleton’s first-half strike.

Wanderers’ last win against Sunderland came in February 2018 when Zach Clough scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory at the UniBol.

However, Lee Johnson’s men ran out 1-0 winners when the sides met at the Stadium of Light earlier this season.

Here’s how the sides line up.

Bolton: Trafford, Jones, Santos, Johnston, Fossey, Lee, Williams, Morley, John, Afolayan, Charles

Subs: Dixon, Aimson, Baptiste, Thomason, Sadlier, Bodvarsson, Bakayoko

Sunderland: Hoffman, Winchester, Batth, Doyle, Cirkin, Evans, Neil, Dajaku, Embleton, Gooch, Stewart

Subs: Patterson, Flanagan, O'Brien, Pritchard, Clarke, Hume, Roberts
