Squad sheets: Bolton Wanderers v Blackburn Rovers
After everything that has happened over the last week, Bolton must return to the business of trying to win a crucial match near the bottom of the table. But it will be difficult. Owen Coyle's players must have used up an enormous amount of emotional energy and they are facing a Blackburn side who have won successive matches for the first time this season. A third straight victory for Steve Kean's team would put them seven points clear of their Lancashire rivals. Bolton, however, would love nothing more than to dedicate a win to Fabrice Muamba, 250 miles away in the intensive care unit of the London Chest Hospital.
