Bolton Wanderers return to action after opening their Championship season with three points, beating Preston North End 2-1 at the Toughsheet Community Stadium last week.

Steven Schumacher's team hit the ground running in front of a sell-out crowd, with Sam Dalby and Thierry Gale netting in a strong performance. The task for the Whites now, is to keep the winning run going as they head to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon.

It might only be a game in, but this match is set up as first vs fifth, with QPR beating Portsmouth 3-1 on the opening day. Whilst a lot of pundits tipped Preston to be in and around the relegation fight, QPR are expected to finish much higher in the table, only adding to the task for Bolton.
