Same again for Trotters

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce looks set to name an unchanged team for the home game against Aston Villa tomorrow when they aim to keep the pressure up on the top group.

Allardyce’s side have lost only once in the league and conceded one goal at the Reebok Stadium following the defeat of Arsenal last weekend.

Utility player Henrik Pedersen remains troubled by an Achilles problem, however, and looks set to sit the Barclays Premiership match out.

Provisional Squad: Jaaskelainen, O’Brien, N’Gotty, Ben Haim, Gardner, Faye, Nolan, Speed, Giannakopoulos, Diouf, Davies, Jaidi, Vaz Te, Walker, Okocha, Fadiga, Nakata, Borgetti.
