Allardyce rings the changes

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce looks certain to ring the changes for the Carling Cup match against Leicester tomorrow at the Reebok Stadium.

Greece winger Stelios Giannakopoulos could return to the team for the fourth-round match after missing the defeat by Fulham at the weekend.

Nicky Hunt (broken leg) and Henrik Pedersen (Achilles) are both approaching full fitness after injury and might be given a run-out.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, O’Brien, Hunt, N’Gotty, Jaidi, Ben Haim, Gardner, Pedersen, Giannakopoulos, Faye, Nakata, Okocha, Speed, Nolan, Diouf, Davies, Walker, Vaz Te, Djetou.
