The players who get nod in Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth's combined squad according to ratings

The stoppage has allowed some of the key members in the Blues’ squad to recover from knocks and injuries with Danny Cowley believing his side are in the best shape they’ve been since August.

Before the break Cowley’s men were on a run of two defeats in their previous 11 games - seeing them close the gap to the play-offs to seven points.

However, over a fortnight later Pompey now sit 11 points away from the top six with eight games remaining.

They face a Bolton side who had a mini play-off push after the January window, but have since fallen away themselves.

With both sides sitting on 59 points, it promises to be a close encounter at the University of Bolton Stadium so we’ve taken to WhoScored to see which players make the combined starting line-up (3-4-1-2 formation) and bench.
