The pair are among the favourites for the title this season and both would love to land an early blow in the race for the top spots.

Stockport fell narrowly short of back-to-back promotions last term but Dave Challinor's teams rarely stay in one division for long.

Last term marked the end of Ian Evatt's lengthy tenure at Bolton and his replacement, Steven Schumacher, has been allowed to make wholesale changes to the squad ahead of his first full season at the helm.

Schumacher knows what it takes to win promotion out of League One and will hope to take the first step on that path on Sunday.
