Scunthorpe United FC

Both sides have enjoyed impressive campaigns so far, with Graham Alexander and Phil Parkinson’s men sitting first and third in the table respectively.

There’s little to choose between the two teams in terms of points also, and in fact only two points covers the top three in Sky Bet League One.

United last met Bolton back in 2001, and were on the wrong side of a 5-1 scoreline in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Dean Holdsworth stole the show for Wanderers, as he fired a superb hat-trick, which was accompanied by a brace from Kevin Nolan.

Spaniard Alex Calvo-Garcia had given the Iron hope on 30 minutes when he halved the deficit to make it 2-1, but Sam Allardyce’s team were just too strong on the day.
