A graphic featuring the Lincoln City and Bolton Wanderers logos.

City will be looking to make it six games unbeaten at the LNER Stadium when they host Bolton Wanderers on Easter Monday (3pm KO).

Read what head coach Michael Skubala and attacker Reeco Hackett had to say ahead of the game, as well as familiarising yourself with key match information in this preview.  

Michael Skubala:  

"When we knew we couldn't go up or down, it was really important for me to learn more about the team, but fundamentally we still want to win, as we showed against Reading on Good Friday. 

"Bolton will come here knowing they have to win, so it is another tough challenge for us but one we'll embrace. The game against Reading was physically tough for the players, so we may have to rotate the side again, but with a view to winning the match. 

"We want to win games at home, it's another big club coming to the LNER Stadium and we're determined to put on another good performance in front of our own supporters." 

Reeco Hackett: 

"I'm very comfortable playing anywhere in the three behind the striker and I'm really enjoying my role in the team at the moment. 

"Bolton will a really good test for us, especially at this stage of the season. For us, it's about getting as many points as we can and setting ourselves up to hit the ground running next season." 

A look at the opposition

The Trotters head into the fixture off the back of three straight losses, having gone down 2-0 at home to promotion-chasing Wycombe Wanderers on Good Friday.   

Form: WWLLL

Top scorer: Aaron Collins (12 goals)
