Trotters to open season in positive fashion

Bolton may be one of the favourites for relegation this season, but the newly promoted side can get off to a winning start against a Preston outfit that have struggled in pre-season.

The Lilywhites lost their final five pre-season friendlies and began the competitive campaign with a penalty shootout win over Huddersfield in the EFL Cup.

They have lost some key figures during the summer and lost three of their final four Championship games last season, while Bolton picked up a draw with Everton and a win over NAC Breda in their two home friendlies.

Including these friendlies, the Trotters have kept a clean sheet in their last three home fixtures. Preston lost 1-0 at Stockport in their final friendly, and a repeat of that scoreline could be on the cards on Saturday.
