Boro to remain unchanged

With no injury worries Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren could name an unchanged side for the Riverside Stadium clash with Bolton.

Slovakia international Szilard Nemeth has recovered from a hamstring injury but Croatia striker Alan Boksic could continue in the attack after he impressed during the 3-0 win over Tottenham.

After a 3-1 midweek Worthington Cup win over Second Division Brentford, third-placed Boro will look to make it four consecutive victories to cement their lofty position in the Premiership.

Team (from): Schwarzer, Stockdale, Ehiogu, Southgate, Queudrue, Cooper, Geremi, Boateng, Greening, Marinelli, Job, Boksic, Maccarone, Nemeth, Whelan, Crossley.
