John Coleman believes it will be difficult for anyone to pick the Bolton Wanderers starting XI due to the wealth of talent in the Whites squad ahead of taking on Accrington Stanley.
The Whites travel to take on Stanley this weekend at the Wham Stadium. They make the short journey to East Lancashire for the Saturday 3pm kick-off in League One.
Wanderers are aiming to avoid three losses on the road after defeats at the hands of Cheltenham Town and Forest Green Rovers. They are also seeking their first win in four games in League One, as well as thier first goals in the division since the start of October.

Like Wanderers, Stanley have not been on top form in terms of results recently in League One. They have lost their last two games in the division and not found the back of the net in either of those fixtures as they sit 17th in the table.
Wanderers have a near fully fit squad to choose from for the encounter against Accrington. Stanley boss Coleman believes it will be quite a task for anyone to pick the Bolton starting team owing to the strength in depth Ian Evatt has at his disposal.
He believes both sides will be eager to get back on the scoresheet in the league after a recent lean spell. But he feels the first strike in the encounter could prove to be the key one and set the tone for the game.
He said: "It's two teams who are desperate to get back on track and scoring goals in the league. I don't think either of us have scored in our last two games, so it should be a 0-0 or a 5-5!
"We know the wealth of talent that they've got in their squad. It'll be difficult for anybody I think to pick their starting 11 on Saturday, so we know we're in for a tough challenge and they're the games that we generally improve in and rise to the occasion.
"I think the first goal is vital in most games these days. I know it's not always the case but it has such a bearing on the way the game pans out and we're desperate to get it."
