Blackpool (4-3-3):
Gilks, Crainey, Eardley, Evatt, Baptiste, Southern, Vaughan, Adam, Gary Taylor-Fletcher, DJ Campbell, Kornilenko.

Blackpool have no fresh concerns and manager Ian Holloway is expected to play a similar attacking line-up that earned a hard fought draw with Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

Bolton Wanderers (4-4-2):
Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Elmander, Muamba, Taylor, Davies, Sturridge.

Bolton are likely to name the same team which suffered defeat to Sunderland last week, and manager Owen Coyle has no selection worries ahead of the trip to Bloomfield Road.

  • The Tangerines’ run of nine games without a win is the worst in the Premier League, and their last victory came against Tottenham in February.
  • The Seasiders have the worst home form in the Premier League, winning just four games at Bloomfield Road this season.
  • Bolton have the second worst away record and have won only two games, drawing five and losing 11 on their travels this season. only Wolves have been worse (W2-D3-L13).
  • Bolton have conceded 50 goals in the Premier League this season, more than any other club in the top half of the table.
  • Thee Trotters have failed to score on 10 occasions in the league this season, while Blackpool have failed to score eight times.
