Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Hurst to be concerned about. George Nurse (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
Prediction
Our assessment is that Bolton Wanderers will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
