Bolton Wanderers: 23/20 with Stan James, Birmingham City: 11/4 with Betfred, Draw: 12/5 with Paddy Power
All seems pleasing enough at Bolton – a draw with Fulham, West Ham beaten at Upton Park and job done at Southampton in the Carling Cup. Johan Elmander has even started scoring. Ivan Klasnic is a doubt for this game after picking up an injury in the with at St.Mary’s. A patient re-invention has been taking place with the intelligent Coyle, who produced an open passing side at Burnley and is slowly encouraging his charges to do the same. There is really no excuse for disgruntled fans under Gary Megson not to return.
Birmingham City have also picked up four points. They have worries over Scotsman JamesMcFadden and await a first goal from beanpole Nikola Zigic. Matty Derbyshire could start after technically scoring in the win over Rochdale, though keeper Josh Lillis helped him no end. Birmingham’s away form though, remains a source of concern.
