Bolton Wanderers v Ipswich Town - Sky Bet League One
Bolton Wanderers will host Derby - Sky Bet League One

Bolton Wanderers will host Derby County at the University of Bolton Stadium on Tuesday in another round of League One football.

The home side have had mixed results this season but remain in the race for promotion to the Championship. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 2-0 home win over Exeter City via first-half goals from Conor Bradley and Dion Charles.

Bolton have picked up 35 points from 21 games this season and currently sit fifth in the League One standings. They will aim to build on their latest results and continue their push up the table.

Derby County are playing well at the moment but have particularly struggled to pick up wins even in games they have dominated. They returned to winning ways in the league last time out with a 4-0 trouncing of Forest Green Rovers, with Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scoring the opener before David McGoldrick netted a hat-trick.

The visitors sit a place and a point behind their midweek opponents in the league table and can leapfrog them with a win on Tuesday.
