Bolton Wanderers

Preview: Bolton v United

BOLTON defender Quinton Fortune looks unlikely to play against his former club Manchester United after breaking down in training with a calf problem.

Abdoulaye Faye (concussion), Nicolas Anelka (knee) and El-Hadji Diouf (ankle) are doubtful for the clash at the Reebok Stadium.

Skipper Kevin Nolan is suspended and that could see a starting place for Greece winger Stelios Giannakopoulos.

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson has reported a clean bill of health for the top-of-the-table clash.

Cristiano Ronaldo, now fully recovered from the flu virus which kept him out of last weekend's win over Liverpool, should start, possibly at the expense of Darren Fletcher.

Ferguson is likely to change his entire team from the one that beat Crewe in midweek, although Mikael Silvestre and Gabriel Heinz may be on the bench.

Bolton Wanderers (from): Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Faye, Meite, Ben Haim, Giannakopoulos, Campo, Speed, Tal, Davies, Diouf, Anelka, Walker, Pedersen, Vaz Te, Fojut, Smith, Al Habsi.

Manchester United (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, O'Shea, Silvestre, Evra, Heinz, Fletcher, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Saha, Rooney, Smith, Solskjaer.
