Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has revealed he will pick a team that will 'require a certain strength' for when they face Wycombe Wanderers this weekend.
The Trotters sit third in League One, six points off the automatic promotion places and have recorded two back-to-back 5-0 victories.
They have also conceded the second least amount of goals in the division this season with 23, and have picked up 15 points from their last 18 games, winning the last five.

However, the Chairboys are also enjoying a real purple patch as their midweek win away at Accrington Stanley was their fourth in a row and their fifth in six games.
It was also the eighth time in 14 games they have kept a clean sheet and despite not sitting in the play-offs at the time of writing, Gareth Ainsworth’s team are one of the in-form teams in the division.

“It is going to be a completely different challenge to the Charlton, Peterborough, and MK Dons games, so we will pick a team that we think can cope with that challenge.
“It is no sleight on anyone – (the team) has done incredibly well in recent weeks.
“But this game specifically will require a certain strength to be able to deal with their strengths.
