Bolton Wanderers sit in the top six so far this season after playing the opening phase of the League One campaign.
Wanderers sit sixth in the table, even though they were not in action last weekend in light of the international break and call-ups within the squad meaning the game against Portsmouth at Fratton Park was postponed. A new date is yet to be arranged.
The break comes to an end this weekend when Wanderers take on Lincoln City at the University of Bolton Stadium. Ian Evatt's side will be aiming for their fourth win on the bounce in League One following successes over Charlton Athletic, MK Dons and Peterborough United.

Wanderers strengthened well in Janaury with the permanent acquisitions of Dion Charles, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Aaron Morley, Kieran Sadlier and Kyle Dempsey. Marlon Fossey and James Trafford also arrived on loan.
The run of form saw Wanderers lose just three games in League One from mid-January until the end of the season at the conclusion of April. Ian Evatt's side ended the season in ninth.
They have continued this positive momentum into the new campaign with fresh arrivals over the summer. Wanderers have lost just twice so far in League One this season and are five points from the top of the division with a game in hand on current league leaders Plymouth Argyle.
Bolton's form on the pitch this season is highlighted with their points tally so far this calendar year. Figures collated by The Near Post illustrate this.
Wanderers have picked up 64 points in League One this year, second only to Sheffield Wednesday in 2022. MK Dons are third with 61, with Ipswich Town and Plymouth joint-fourth with 59.
Portsmouth are fifth with 58 points, while last season's defeated play-off finalists Wycombe Wanderers are sixth with 52 points in 2022 so far. Cambridge United's impressive year sees them next on the list with 48 points, while last season's champions Wigan Athletic are next with 47.
