| Alan Hutton could make his Bolton debut after joining on loan from Aston Villa. |

| The Scotland international has not played an English league game since his spell with Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day 2012, but is considered match-fit. |
| Blackburn forward Josh King (hamstring) is out while midfielder Dickson Etuhu (ankle) is nearing a comeback. Tom Cairney (ankle) is a doubt for Rovers but Corry Evans could return after four months out with ankle ligament damage. |
| Midfielder Evans, an unused substitute for last Saturday's 1-0 win at Reading, is fit again after collecting his injury while on international duty with Northern Ireland in October, but Ben Marshall (ankle) is out for the long term. |
