Ian Evatt will be back on the touchline as he looks to lead the Whites to another home win.
The Wanderers’ boss watched Tuesday night’s victory over Morecambe from the directors’ box as he served a one-match ban.
The three points secured against the Shrimps by Conor Bradley’s goal lifted Evatt’s men up to fourth place in the fledgling League One table, four places above Wednesday who are a point behind.
Manager quotes:
Ian Evatt: “It’s a big game, a big test. They are a very good team.
“Darren (Moore) is a great guy. One of the good guys in football and I think a lot of him.
“It’s going to be a really tough game – no doubt about that.
“I’m pleased (with the home form) but it’s very early days.
“We’re happy with where we are at but we know there’s more to come.
“We’ve got a really big week coming up now to finish this month strong.”
Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore:
“Bolton have started well, they are a team looking to make an impact in the division this season.
“They will be pleased with their start. It's a wonderful fixture for both teams tomorrow and we will have to be at our best to come away with anything.”
