Pre match comments from Brian Barry-Murphy
"I think we’re seeing from week to week how difficult this league is and the level of challenge is consistently high.
"So many of the games have been decided by the odd goal and we’ve been both on the right side and wrong side of that previously ourselves.
"Every analysis of this team in particular tells me that they’re top of the league on so many different metrics and they’re one the best teams, it’s clear.
"To be competitive in that game and to give ourselves a chance to win, we’ll have to be at our absolute best.
"But, I believe we’re one of the best teams in the league ourselves. Our intention is to go and show that on Saturday.
“Will Fish has an ongoing knee issue which is getting better. Particularly with his longer passes, he’s feeling some discomfort in his knee, but the amount is becoming less and less. He’s making good progress.
“Dylan Lawlor has had a good week of training so far. It’s important that he can do certain things that we want when we train later on today. Hopefully, he can be available for Saturday.
“There are no fresh concerns from the Reading game. The international break brought a lot of moving parts where players were in different places physically.
“Once you come back from that, it always feels reassuring when you get back to your routine. For the whole of this week, it’s been a lot more settled and the players are looking very well.”
Bolton manager Steven Schumacher
