Bolton

After suffering a 2-1 loss to Rotherham in the EFL Cup, Port Vale will be aiming to return to winning ways when they host Bolton to their Vale Park on Matchday 3.

Fleetwood

Morecambe and Fleetwood go head to head at the Mazuma Stadium on day 3 of the new League One campaign. Morecambe have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team failing to find the net in the previous three games in all competitions.

Portsmouth

Cheltenham Town and Portsmouth go head to head at Whaddon Park on day 3 of the new League One campaign. Cheltenham Town experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 7-0 loss to Exeter, but it has to be noted that Wade Elliott rested several first-team regulars in the EFL Cup clash.
