Premiership: Crouch to make Villa debut at Bolton

Peter Crouch will make his Aston Villa debut against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.

Graham Taylor has confirmed that Crouch will be in the starting line-up following his move from Portsmouth.

Crouch is likely to link up in attack with Darius Vassell.

The debut for Crouch is likely to be the only change that Taylor makes to the side that drew 0-0 at Ipswich.

Juan Pablo Angel is set to return to the squad after missing the last two games with a toe injury.

He could take the place on the bench of Paul Merson, who is struggling with a sore Achilles.

Bolton are set to give a debut to Kostas Konstantinidis.

The Greece defender has been drafted in on loan from Hertha Berlin because of injuries to Gudni Bergsson and Mike Whitlow.

With keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen suspended, Jeff Cassar could be added to the squad after signing a short-term contract.

Bolton (from): Poole, Barness, N'Gotty, Konstantinidis, Charlton, Warhurst, Frandsen, Hansen, Southall, Nolan, Wallace, Djorkaeff, Bobic, Ricketts, Holdsworth, Cassar.

Aston Villa (from): Schmeichel, Delaney, Mellberg, Staunton, Samuel, Stone, Hitzlsperger, Boateng, Barry, Crouch, Vassell, Angel, Merson, Taylor, Balaban, Hadji, Enckelman.
