Harewood (r): Torn hamstring

Harewood (r): Torn hamstring

Bolton manager Owen Coyle could be tempted to name an unchanged side after the emphatic victory over Newcastle.

Sam Ricketts and Matt Taylor look set to retain their places in the team ahead of Gretar Steinsson and Martin Petrov.

Striker Johan Elmander, who opened new contract talks this week, will be looking to improve his eight-goal tally after a brace last weekend.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway will make one enforced change against the Trotters as striker Marlon Harewood is sidelined with a torn hamstring.

Harewood suffered the setback in training this week after scoring in the win over Wolves at the weekend.

Ludovic Sylvestre is doubtful with a hamstring strain as is Chris Basham with a knee problem.

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Bogdan, Cahill, Steinsson, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Holden, Muamba, Petrov, Cohen, K Davies, Elmander, M Davies, Blake, Taylor, Klasnic, Ricketts, Alonso, Moreno.

Blackpool (from): Kingson, Eardley, Cathcart, Crainey, Evatt, Adam, Vaughan, Varney, Taylor-Fletcher, Campbell, Grandin, Phillips, Edwards, Carney, Euell, Sylvestre, Keinan, Southern, Basham, Ormerod, Halstead.
