Big Sam waits on Davies

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce will make a late decision on Kevin Davies’ fitness as they prepare to face Manchester United tomorrow at Old Trafford.

The striker has returned to training following a six-match absence after suffering a chipped bone in his ankle.

Abdoulaye Meite is expected to shake off a toe injury and return to the defence after suspension.

Provisional squad: Jaaskelainen, Walker, Ben Haim, Meite, Hunt, Gardner, Nolan, Campo, Speed, Anelka, Davies, Pedersen, Teymourian, Thompson, Diouf, Giannakopoulos, Faye, Tal.
