The Hatters make the long trek to the north-west tonight for their FA Cup 3rd round replay against Bolton Wanderers.
For the Hatters it is the last fixture before the so-called ‘winter break’ with, so my spies tell me, the squad departing for some warm weather training.
In the original tie, Bolton Wanderers gave a decent account of themselves and will feel confident of pulling off a cup upset tonight.
Rob Edwards will, no doubt, shuffle his starting XI after the Friday night 1-1 draw with Burnley but has implied he will field a starting XI strong enough to win the tie.
With the kick-off looming large we are now able to bring you the confirmed team sheets.
Starting with our hosts Bolton Wanderers:

Fingers crossed the Hatters can secure a 4th round tie against the winners of the 3rd round replay between Everton and Crystal Palace.
