Phil Parkinson could name an unchanged side for Bolton's clash with Fleetwood

Bolton could be unchanged again as the only English Football League side with a 100 per cent record look to make it four wins from four against Fleetwood.

Phil Parkinson stuck with the same XI against Bristol Rovers in midweek and was rewarded with a 2-1 victory which sent Wanderers top of the table.

Central defender Mark Beevers overcame a knock to complete 90 minutes and midfielder Chris Taylor came on despite a slight concern over a foot problem.

Parkinson is still a bit short in the centre-back area, though Derik Osede (groin) and Dorian Dervite (knee) are back training ahead of an imminent return, while captain Darren Pratley (fractured leg) went under the knife on Tuesday.

Fleetwood have been boosted by news of Ashley Hunter's new three-year contract as they prepare for the trip.

The 20-year-old came off the bench to score the decisive second goal against Oxford in midweek and subsequently signed a new deal.

Head coach Uwe Rosler will have to check on Eggert Jonsson, who came off just after the hour having previously played 90 minutes at the weekend after being given the all-clear from a foot injury.

Loan signing Chris Long played his first senior game since January against Oxford to boost Rosler's attacking options.
