Bolton Wanderers

Preview: Bolton v Sheffield United

BOLTON boss Sam Allardyce expects to go into the Premiership clash with Sheffield United with no new injury worries.

Ivan Campo will be the only new absentee as he begins a two-match suspension, joining longer-term injury victims Joey O'Brien and Quinton Fortune on the sidelines.

Kevin Davies expects to keep his place in the starting line-up after fully recovering from his foot injury, while Abdoulaye Meite is in line to return from a toe problem.

Allardyce said: "Our victories need to come at home, starting tomorrow with no more slip-ups.

"I know our fans are saving up for Europe already and I want to help them realise their dream."

Danny Webber is likely to be missing from the Sheffield United squad against Bolton after picking up a metatarsal injury.

However, the Blades are hoping Keith Gillespie will have recovered from a sickness bug that prevented his training earlier his week.

Jon Stead could come into the starting line-up in place of Rob Hulse, who suffered a broken leg two weeks ago.

Bolton Wanderers (from): Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Gardner, Nolan, Meite, Ben Haim, Speed, Faye, Davies, Anelka, Diouf, Walker, Pedersen, Giannakopoulos, Teymourian, Tal, Thompson.

Sheffield United (from): Kenny, Davis, Jagielka, Kozluk, Armstrong, Morgan, A Quinn, S Quinn, Fathi, Tonge, Montgomery, Stead, Kazim-Richards, Geary, Seck, Gillespie, Bromby, Bennett.

Key opponent: Jon Stead -  Striker will be desperate to prove he can cut it in the Premiership before the season's over
