Trotters in fine fettle for Cats clash

Only long-term absentees Joey O'Brien and Sean Davis (both knee) are unavailable for Bolton, who go to the Stadium of Light unbeaten in their last four league games. The only doubts surround who will lead the team, and it is not yet clear whether caretaker manager Chris Evans or incoming boss Owen Coyle will be in charge. Trotters (from): Jaaskelainen, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Steinsson, Cohen, Taylor, Gardner, Muamba, McCann, Lee, K Davies, Klasnic, Basham, A O'Brien, Al Habsi, Samuel, Elmander, M Davies, Ricketts.
