ONES TO WATCH
Alex Baptiste
Experienced defender Alex Baptiste rejoined the Wanderers in the summer from Doncaster Rovers, seven years on from his initial stint in Lancashire between 2013 and 2015.
Aged 34, the former Blackpool man brings a wealth of experience to the Bolton side, having racked up a total of 494 appearances across his 18-year career so far.
Ali Crawford
Scottish midfielder Ali Crawford featured 14 times for Bolton during the 2019/20 campaign, scoring two goals and registering five assists in an injury-hit debut season with the club.
The 29-year-old made 227 appearances for Hamilton Academical between 2009 and 2018 before making the move south of the border to Doncaster Rovers in 2018.
Nathan Delfouneso
Nathan Delfouneso joined Wanderers this summer from Sky Bet League One side Blackpool, where he netted 24 times in 125 appearances for the Tangerines - over a three-year stint.
The former England under-21 international is a product of Aston Villa’s academy and was crowned top scorer for his country in the Under-19 European Championships of 2009, scoring four goals.
THE MANAGER
Bolton announced the appointment of Ian Evatt as their new head coach ahead of the 2020/21 season in July, on a three-year deal.
Evatt achieved promotion from the Vanarama National League with Cumbrian outfit Barrow in just his second season of management.
During his playing career, the former defender racked up a total of 534 professional appearances during his time at Derby County, Northampton Town, Queens Park Rangers, Blackpool and Chesterfield.
THE CAPTAIN
Antoni Sarcevic put pen to paper on a two-year deal with Bolton in July after three successful years with Plymouth Argyle.
In May 2013, Sarcevic was called up to the England 'C' squad to face Bermuda during his time at Chester, netting the opening goal of the game in a 6-1 win.

Wanderers came from behind to secure a point against second-place Cambridge United at Abbey Stadium, on Saturday.
