ARSENAL  Fabianski Djourou, Miquel, Squillaci, Santos Coquelin, Frimpong, Benayoun Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Park | BOLTON  Bogdan Boyata, Cahill, Wheater, Robinson Eagles, Pratley, Muamba, Petrov Kakuta, Klasnic |
Adam Bogdan may be recalled in goal by Owen Coyle for the first time since his horror show in the 5-1 defeat to Chelsea, whilst Fabrice Muamba may also feature in the centre of midfield if Nigel Reo-Coker is rested.
Expect Gael Kakuta, currently on loan from Chelsea, to feature up front after his goalscoring display against Aston Villa in the previous round, and Ivan Klasnic could partner him at the Emirates.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- The last time these two sides met was back in September at the Emirates in the Premier League, when Alex Song’s late strike followed a Robin van Persie double to secure a 3-0 victory for the Gunners.
That result was Bolton’s fifth defeat in a row in the Premier League, with Owen Coyle’s side having now lost seven of their first nine games this campaign following Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Sunderland.
- Victories against Macclesfield and Aston Villa in the League Cup have provided the Trotters with a brief respite from their top flight form, meaning they have already progressed further than last season’s third round showing in the competition.
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (right), Yossi Benayoun and Kieran Gibbs all opened their Arsenal accounts in the 3-1 victory over Shrewsbury Town in last month’s third round clash.
- Arsene Wenger’s side have now won three games on the bounce, with Premier League victories over Sunderland and Stoke City coming either side of Wednesday’s Champions League win over Marseille.
