Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka is fit again after a hamstring injury and
should return to the starting line-up.
El-Hadji Diouf is also set to return after completing a one-match ban.
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney is still out with an ankle injury, while
Gary Neville continues his recovery after a succession of injury problems.
Defender Nemanja Vidic is United's only worry. The Serbian picked up a
knock against Poland, so Wes Brown start may partner Rio Ferdinand at
the back.

BIG-MATCH FACTS
＊ The 109th league meeting of these two Greater Manchester rivals could
see United at the top of the table and Bolton still below the safety
line at the final whistle.
＊ No club has won more Premier League matches this season than Manchester
United (nine), and no club has won fewer than Bolton (one).
＊ Bolton have drawn four and lost one of five games since the appointment
of Gary Megson, and are chasing a first win under the new manager against
the tightest defence in the Premier League.
＊ Manchester United are unbeaten in 10 league outings; Wanderers are
pursuing a first win in 10.
＊ The Trotters have conceded more Premier League goals to Manchester United
than to any other club (40).
＊ Bolton are making a ninth attempt to clinch a first ever home Premier
League victory over Manchester United. They've not taken maximum points
off the Red Devils in front of the home faithful since a 3-0 top flight
triumph on 22 December 1978. A brace from Frank Worthington and an Alan
Gowling goal decided the issue 29 years ago.
CLUB FORM
1. Undefeated in nine; won eight and drawn one in all competitions, since
the 0-2 home defeat by Coventry in the third round of the Carling Cup
on 26 September; their only loss in 15 outings.
2. Dropped only two points from a last possible 30, since their only league
defeat this term; 1-0, away to Manchester City on 19 August.
3. Kept eight clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season - more
than any other club; seven of those have been in the last 10 matches.
4. Opened the scoring in an unrivalled 10 Premier League matches this season.
5. Heading the Premier League's "Last Six Current Form" table with 16 points
out of 18.
6. Completed 53 league games since a loss by more than a single goal; 3-0,
away to Chelsea on 29 April 2006.
7. Meanest defence in the Premier League with six goals conceded from 13
outings, at one every 195 minutes (three hours 15 minutes) on average.
Liverpool have also let in just six, but from 12 matches, at one every
180 minutes (three hours).
8. Yet to lose to a lower half club; won five and drawn one of their six
fixtures against clubs in the bottom 10.
9. Unbeaten in four league games on the road (three wins, one draw), and
already returned from Everton, Birmingham and Aston Villa with maximum
points.
10. This match precedes Tuesday's Champions League Group F tie, home to
Sporting.
KEY PLAYER NOTES

completing a hat-trick in last season's 0-4 triumph over Bolton in
this identical fixture last season.
＊ United scored eight goals against the Trotters last term.
