Welcome to The First Word - and after a week of transfer talk, down to the football.

Wanderers head to AFC Wimbledon looking to put some pressure on second-placed Lincoln City with two new signings set to make their debuts in Corey Blackett-Taylor and Rob Apter.

We speak to head coach Steven Schumacher on the first anniversary of his appointment as Bolton boss and hear his thoughts ahead of transfer deadline day. 

Russ Pollitt also drops by with his thoughts on the game ahead, with Marc Iles talking you through the major talking points ahead of kick-off.
