Two changes for Bolton

Bolton manager Gary Megson made two changes to his side for this crucial Barclays Premier League match against Newcastle at the Reebok Stadium.

Andy O’Brien – who has a spell at St James’ Park – and Fabrice Muamba were recalled following the home win over West Ham.

With a trip to Stoke to come on Wednesday, Megson was aware this could be a vital week in their bid to climb the table.

Newcastle went into the game on the back of a draw against Everton and also made two changes – Jonas Gutierrez and Obefami Martins coming in for Kevin Nolan and Damian Duff.
