Liverpool also have to deal with injuries to Daniel Agger, who picked up a knock against Stoke, and Jay Spearing, who could be set for a spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring problem.
Despite Owen Coyle's comments in mid-week insisting Kevin Davies still has a vital role to play at the Reebok, expect the forward to miss out once again, with the former Burnley boss opting to start David Ngog once again in the lone striker's role.
Bolton are still without goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen (hip/thigh), although replacement Adam Bogdan looked increasingly competent at Old Trafford against Manchester United last week, despite the 3-0 defeat.
Long term injury cases such as Marcos Alonso (ankle), Ricardo Gardener (hip/thigh), Tyrone Mears (broken leg), Chung-Yong Lee (broken leg), Stuart Holden (knee) and Sean Davis (knee) also remain unavailable for the clash.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
Liverpool have won all of their 10 Premier League games against Saturday's opposition.
- The home side have only picked up four points from their 10 games at the Reebok Stadium this season.
- Liverpool have only recorded one victory on the road in the Premier League in their last four away games.
- Kenny Dalglish's men have also only managed to score twice in their last four away games in the league.
- Bolton have only kept a single clean sheet at home this season, coming in November's 5-0 win over Stoke, yet Liverpool have kept six whilst on their travels.
- Stewart Downing (pictured) has had 47 attempts without a single goal this season, the worst return in the Premier League.
- This is reflected in his sides own average, with only 8% of chances converted, lower than any other side in the Premier League.
- Bolton have hit the target with a higher percentage of their shots than any other side in the division with 55%.
I cannot see Bolton playing a massive part in this game, and other than through an inspired performance from Ngog, I doubt there will be any chance of a goal against a normally solid Liverpool side.
While Coyle's men will make it hard for the visitors, when Liverpool break the deadlock I think there will be at least another couple of goals to follow to bump up the scoreline.
