Burnley v Bolton Wanderers

Burnley's first-choice centre-backs Steven Caldwell and Clarke Carlisle are both doubts for the St Stephen's Day match at home to Bolton.

The pair were forced off either side of half-time in Sunday's defeat at Wolves with groin injuries.

Michael Duff and Joey Gudjonsson were their replacements on the day but manager Owen Coyle also has the option of dropping Andre Bikey back from central midfield.

Right-back Tyrone Mears sustained a head injury in that game but is expected to be fit.

Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba will finally serve his suspension for the Barclays Premier League fixture against Burnley.

After collecting his fifth booking of the season in the 3-1 win over West Ham last week, Muamba should have sat out Monday's game at Wigan, only for it to be postponed.

Chris Basham is likely to step in as the only change from the game with the Hammers as the midfielder Gavin McCann again misses out due to an ankle injury.

Burnley squad: Jensen, Mears, Jordan, Carlisle, Bikey, Caldwell, Eagles, Alexander, Elliott, McDonald, Fletcher, Duff, Nugent, Blake, Thompson, Penny, Guerrero, Gudjonsson.

Boltons squad: Jaaskelainen, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Steinsson, Cohen, Taylor, Gardner, Lee, K Davies, Klasnic, Basham, A O'Brien, Al Habsi, Samuel, Elmander, Ricketts.
