- 0' That's the starting whistle at Macron Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Bolton Wanderers FC and Rotherham United FC.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Semi Ajayi suffering a number of foals already.

- 13' Clark Robertson has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 13.
