Ivan Campo returns for Bolton after suspension against Manchester City at the Reebok Stadium.
Campo missed last weekend's 4-0 FA Cup win at Doncaster and should reclaim a midfield spot, with boss Sam Allardyce set to revert to his preferred starting line-up.
Kevin Nolan faces a late fitness check on a rib injury, while fellow midfielder Quinton Fortune picked up a knock in training and is a doubt. Henrik Pedersen remains sidelined with a calf problem and Abdoulaye Faye is banned.
Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton is available after suspension.
Barton's return is a boost for manager Stuart Pearce as Hatem Trabelsi is struggling with a hamstring problem.
Paul Dickov (toe), Dietmar Hamann (back) and Danny Mills (foot) remain sidelined.
Bolton Wanderers squad: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Meite, Ben Haim, Campo, Giannakopoulos, Speed, Nolan, Diouf, Anelka, Davies, Walker, Gardner, Vaz Te, Tal, Teymourian, Fortune, Fojut, Smith.
Manchester City squad: Weaver, Onuoha, Sun Jihai, Distin, Dunne, Jordan, Miller, Richards, Sinclair, Dabo, Barton, Ireland, Trabelsi, Beasley, Vassell, Corradi, Samaras, Isaksson.
