Preview: Bolton Wanderers vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

By Pascal Lemesre, Football League Editor | 29 December 2011

Two of the Premier League's struggling clubs meet in a New Year's Eve fixture at the Reebok, where Bolton have a dismal record in front of their own fans.

Bolton Wanderers will look to end their woeful home form when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Lancashire for their final game of 2011.

The home side, who have surprisingly not recorded a draw this season, have won just one game at the Reebok this season, going down in front of their fans eight times.

Owen Coyle has no new selection headaches ahead of the New Year's Eve affair but may be inclined to bring back Chris Eagles and Kevin Davies to the starting lineup.

For the visitors, Richard Stearman is expected to replace Ronald Zubar, who is struggling with a knee injury sustained in the draw at Arsenal, at right-back.

Kevin Doyle will be hoping for a return up front alongside Steven Fletcher and could take Nenad Milijas's place in Mick McCarthy's XI after his red card against Arsenal.

Current form:

Bolton: LLLLWL
Wolves: LWLLDD

Possible lineups:

Bolton: Jaaskelainen; Boyata, Cahill, Knight, Robinson; Muamba, M Davies, Reo-Coker, Petrov; Klasnic, K Davies

Wolves: Hennessey; Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward; Jarvis, Henry, Forde, Hunt; Doyle, Fletcher

Sports Mole says: 1-1
