Match Preview
Bolton Wanderers welcome Fulham to Reebok Stadium on Saturday knowing a win will seriously aid their current plight as they hover just above the relegation places.
Owen Coyle's men lost 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield last weekend and they have won just twice in their last 13 Premier League fixtures.
Despite the setback, Coyle may have been impressed with Chung-Yong Lee, who unsettled the Reds' back-line.
They are ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Hull City, who occupy the final relegation place, on goal difference and with the Cottagers' miserable away record this term, the hosts will be looking for maximum points.
With Vladimir Weiss impressing in his two substitute appearances for the Trotters so far, he may be pushing for a start alongside fellow loan signing Jack Wilshere, who has made the move from Arsenal.
Bolton have won two of their last three league fixtures on home turf, only a defeat to Arsenal has hindered them recently, and they should be confident of another success.
However, Fulham's narrow 1-0 success against Portsmouth in midweek should improve morale after a disappointing run of recent results.
Jonathan Greening was the match-winner, notching his first goal for the club with just a quarter-of-an-hour remaining.
Prior to Wednesday night's clash, Roy Hodgson's men had lost their last five league fixtures.
Chelsea, Stoke City, Blackburn Rovers, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa had all put Fulham to the sword before the three points picked up against rock-bottom Pompey helped move them up one place into tenth spot.
A trio of knee injury victims are ruled out for the visitors with John Paintsil, Andrew Johnson and Clint Dempsey still in the treatment room. Paul Konchesky (ankle) is another who is still unavailable to his manager.
Bolton are without long-term pair Sean Davis and Joey O'Brien (both knee).
Match Report
Struggling Bolton were controversially denied three points against Fulham when Kevin Davies' winner was disallowed in the last minute to ensure the match ended 0-0.
The Wanderers captain - making his 500th career appearance - looked to have won it for the hosts when he planted a firm header past Mark Schwarzer.
But referee Mark Clattenburg mysteriously spotted a foul as Chung-Yong Lee's free-kick came over and chalked off the late 'winner'.
It was one of the few moments of interest in a woeful 90 minutes of football which leaves Owen Coyle's men one place above the relegation zone.
Injury-hit Fulham, without Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson, Clint Dempsey, Zoltan Gera and John Paintsil, had ended a run of six Premier League games without a win by beating Portsmouth in midweek, but they looked to have come to the Reebok Stadium for a point from the start.
The game's first opportunity came after just three minutes when Paul Robinson picked out Tamir Cohen but the midfielder's header lacked the power to trouble Mark Schwarzer in the Cottagers goal.
Without his first-choice strike duo, Roy Hodgson handed a first start to David Elm and the Swede went close when he turned over Jonathan Greening's corner on 11 minutes.
The best chance of the first half fell to Mark Davies when his namesake Kevin headed back across the six-yard box but the midfielder's attempt cannoned up off Schwarzer's leg and onto the underside of the crossbar.
The second half proved even more disappointing than the first as both sides struggled to carve out clear-cut opportunities.
The closest Fulham came was when Nicky Shorey's deflected free-kick flew just over, much to the relief of a wrong-footed Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Substitute Johan Elmander wasted a superb opportunity to win it with a minute left when Kevin Davies sent him clear but the Swede failed to hit the target.
Kevin Davies then thought he had saved the day for Bolton but Clattenburg's whistle came to Fulham's rescue.
