Steven Schumacher's side are aiming to do the double over Wanderers after the 3-0 win at Home Park in October when they were under Ryan Lowe.
Wanderers boss Evatt has given an update on how the treatment table looks at Bolton heading into the encounter and given an update on the fitness of attacker Afolayan and midfielder Dempsey.
Afolayan is carrying a groin injury while Dempsey has been out of the last two matches with a similar problem, as well as a bout of illness.
But Afolayan will be available for selection in the clash, but Dempsey will miss the encounter as he will return to training next week prior to the clash against Crewe Alex.
Wanderers have also been boosted with the return of Elias Kachunga, while Kieran Lee is on track to return from a heel problem by an original target of the end of March and start of April.
Defender Gethin Jones meanwhile will continue to be unavailable for selection due to being on compassionate leave after the death of his mother Karen, with the vice-captain to be out until at least after a funeral has taken place.
Evatt said: "Kacha will be available this weekend. Everyone is fine other than that, obviously MJ escaped the threshold of yellow cards so he’s okay now.
"Kyle Dempsey will return to training on Tuesday, it is too soon this weekend. Other than that we are all good.
"We’ve had discussions with him (Jones) and feel until the funeral is over, he won’t be fully with us and focused, so it’s important he spends some time with his family and they mourn. Following the funeral, we’ll all be here to support him when he’s ready to come back.
"Kieran Lee is also progressing well, so he won’t be too far.
"His boot is off, the plaster is off. He’s been doing some light work on the grass, some running. Things are looking good.
"I think it’s more of a fatigue injury (for Afolayan) than anything else. It’s nothing muscular, it’s juts stiffness and soreness really from the amount of games he’s had to play.
"But he feels much better today. It’s settled down from what is was on Tuesday and he’s ready for Saturday."
