Craig Bellamy should be fit to face Bolton

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy was taken off as a precaution against Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the Barclays Premiership clash against Bolton Wanderers at Anfield on New Year's Day.

The Wales international had a tight hamstring and was replaced early in the second half at White Hart Lane.

Boudewijn Zenden, Mohamed Sissoko and Harry Kewell continue to recover from long-term injuries.

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce could be tempted to name an unchanged side against Rafael Benitez's men.

The unlikely Champions League contenders head for Anfield aiming for their sixth straight victory.

Nicolas Anelka will be looking to improve his recent superb scoring record - seven goals in eight games - against a club, whose colours he used to wear.

Provisional Liverpool squad: Reina, Finnan, Agger, Carragher, Riise, Gerrard, Luis Garcia, Aurelio, Alonso, Bellamy, Kuyt, Hyypia, Gonzalez, Crouch, Fowler, Pennant, Paletta, Martin, Dudek.

Provisional Bolton Wanderers squad: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Meite, Faye, Ben Haim, Giannakopoulos, Speed, Campo, Nolan, Diouf, Anelka, Davies, Walker, Pedersen, Gardner, Vaz Te, Tal, Teimourian, Fojut.
