No Jones

The fact Jones is out for this one through suspension is a blow for Bolton.

He has been an important player since making the move there last year from Carlisle United.

The former Everton defender played a key role in their promotion from League Two and has made the step up to the third tier with ease.

Prior to his move to the Trotters, he had also played for the likes of Plymouth Argyle, Fleetwood Town, Barnsley and Mansfield Town.
