Wembley awaits for two of the best teams in League One.

Awarded Bolton's Player of the Month for January and February, the midfielder has a great variety of technical and tactical abilities in his locker; be it scoring goals from distance, or defensively reading the game to make vital interceptions. [West Ham United](https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2023/03/09/1140032-aek-larnaca-vs-west-ham-united-uefa-europa-conference-league-preview-round-of-16-2023.html) 2-0 back in 1923. Commentary is available on both Bolton Wanderers' and Plymouth Argyle's websites. Mumba boasts six goals and six assists so far this campaign, demonstrating his mature decision-making ability. James Bolton and Adam Randell are also out for Schumacher's men on Sunday. Currently, Schumacher's team are the bookies' favourites to win the fixture - but Wembley is the home of surprises. Ian Evatt will hope to make the journey worthwhile for the Whites, returning to the North West with their first competition cup since 1989. Starting 33 games this season, Schumacher has turned to the young midfielder for both goals and assists for his side.

Jordan Houghton didn't feature for Plymouth Argyle when they lost at Wembley in 2016, but the former Chelsea ace has his sights set on making history in ...

"This is different: this is a one-off. If we can win on Sunday then that would give us so much heading into the final run-in." "What happened in the last game last year was devastating but I think that's what gave us the shake-up going into pre-season that we needed. "The league, over the last couple of months, has been quite stressful with how tight it is. We want to right that wrong this year and hopefully we can go one step better and avoid the play-offs altogether. Schumacher's side are being fuelled by their agonising collapse last year, where they missed out on a play-off place after being thrashed 5-0 by MK Dons on the final day of the season after looking a safe bet for top-six finish. "I wasn't really expecting to make the final myself, but just to be involved was a great experience. "The fact that there are 80,000 fans there shows how big and how strong the teams are in the final," Schumacher tells Mirror Football . Over 39,000 Plymouth fans are expected, with the national stadium expecting in excess of 80,000 in total - a figure just short of the 85,021 competition record which was set by "Our main objective has always been promotion, this has come along because we were keen to do well in every competition. "The experience was invaluable, though. They [Chelsea] actually told me to go on holiday after the injury!

Mumba and Edwards switched flanks to provide a different dynamic for the Greens, and it almost worked immediately. Wright then jinked into space for a shot dragged wide, as Argyle gradually warmed to the task. Callum Burton started in goal for the Greens, behind a back three of James Wilson, Dan Scarr and Macaulay Gillesphey. Argyle’s sluggish start continued with a loose pass opening room for Charles to have a pop, charged down by Scarr. Substitutes (not used): 32 Adam Parkes (gk), 21 Nigel Lonwijk. Substitutes (not used): 12 Joel Dixon (gk), 27 Randell Williams.

Bolton Wanderers win Papa Johns Trophy after dream Wembley day (The Bolton News)

A CURSE lifted, a club reborn, only one team turned up in the Papa Johns Trophy – and it was Bolton Wanderers who delivered.

Morley whipped in the corner and Jones was hungriest to turn it into the net. Plymouth had to react, a double substitution at the break indicating Schumacher’s unhappiness with the way the game was going. The Devon men only had themselves to blame, losing possession from their own throw on the left. He slipped a ball inside for Dempsey, who in one fluid motion did the same for Charles, before keeper Callum Burton knew it, the ball was nestling in the back of his net. Had VAR been in operation, there surely would have been a case for a penalty. The first knockout trophy win in 34 years, could they possibly come back to Wembley in May and secure Championship football?

“We have had a taste of Wembley now and we would like to come back here,” he said. They have picked up some results but after this the boys will be buzzing and we know we can get something there.” “Not once in my career did I think I would be here at Wembley lifting a trophy. It was an amazing feeling. We played them off the park. It could have been a few more.
