Leeds United v Bolton Wanderers: The lowdown on the Trotters team news, form, stats and what Phil Parkinson has said

Leeds United won the reverse fixture 1-0 over Bolton thanks to Patrick Bamford.

Bolton boss Phil Parkinson is said to be contemplating changes for the trip to Elland Road after last week's 4-0 home defeat to Norwich City.

Marc Wilson failed to make the matchday squad last week after failing a late fitness test while Joe Williams is also pushing for a recall to the starting line-up.

Parkison admitted that he could well start with two up front once again but says his side must be cautious following a drubbing last week.

“We’d worked on that shape in training and we’d to keep a bit of continuity with two at the top of the pitch,” he said.

Wanderers reverted to their usual 5-4-1 formation at half-time against the Canaries to limit the damage.

What has Phil Parkinson has said...

“We have to go to Elland Road and believe we can get a result,” he said. “Of course, we have to look at what we can do better from the Norwich game, after which we know there is a better run coming up.

“We have played a lot of top teams in the last few weeks but the run-in is more favourable. And I believe that if we can come through the Leeds game still within touching distance of the teams above us then we have got a very good chance of staying up.

“It will have to be perfect. You can’t sell yourself against players of that quality, you can’t switch off for a second and get done on a run because you will get punished. That is what happened against Norwich.”
