The Trotters are without their captain Ricardo Santos, former Owls favourite Kieran Lee and January signing Kyle Dempsey.

Bolton’s 11-goal top-scorer Dapo Afolayan is only fit enough for the bench.

The Owls, who have six wins from 19 away games, are unbeaten in their last five matches.

Their last win on the road came in February when they came from behind to beat Doncaster Rovers.

Bolton should score

BPF gets a goal-saving touch to turn the ball over the bar after Storey’s pass was intercepted and lead to a counter-attack.

Bolton’s first meaningful attack almost results in the opening goal.

Plenty of pressure from the resulting corner before the ball eventually goes out for a goal kick.

The heavens have just opened

We can’t tell if it’s rain or hail, but it’s coming down fast and blowing towards the 5,000 Wednesdayites in the away end!

Majestic from Hutch

He knocks the ball past a Bolton player then beats him for pace to start another Wednesday attack.

Game had quietened down before that but moments later Jack Hunt cuts the ball back from an unmarked Mendez-Laing in the box.

He should score, but sends the ball wide.

Another long-range Bannan strike

His third shot inside the opening 15 minutes is straight at Trafford after Gregory cut the ball back from the byline.

All Wednesday so far...

Lively start from Mendez-Laing

He’s been involved in everything Wednesday have done going forward so far and wins them another corner, which the keeper collects at the second attempt.

Plenty of space on this pitch for him to exploit.

Another Bannan chance

And another strike from outside the box, which goes wide after good work again from NML. Not far off.

Decent start from Wednesday.

Mendez-Laing dispossess a Bolton player and releases Gregory, who makes his way into the box before cutting the ball back for Bannan.

His shot from outside the box, a curling effort, is parried wide by the goalkeeper. Corner then comes to nothing.

Marvin Johnson forces a corner

In the first attack of the afternoon, but the delivery from Mendez-Laing evades everyone.

Both sets of supporters exchanging Yorkshire vs Lancashire chants early doors.

Owls kicking towards the home end in the first half. Travelling fans in good voice.

Bolton’s top-scorer on the bench

Dapo Afolyan has scored 11 goals in League One this season. He was expected to miss today’s match through injury, but makes the bench.
