Bolton boss Owen Coyle says he will continue his policy of using fringe players in the Carling Cup.
Rodrigo Moreno is set for his debut, while Tamir Cohen is available after missing the draw at Aston Villa to observe the Jewish holy day Yom Kippur.
MATCH PREVIEW
Nine months after walking out on Burnley to join local rivals Bolton, Owen Coyle can expect a hostile reception on his return to Turf Moor.
Coyle insists it was an emotional wrench to leave the Clarets, but says he had to consider the "bigger picture" by joining a club established in the top flight.
Bolton striker Robbie Blake followed Coyle to the Reebok Stadium this summer, albeit in less controversial circumstances, turning down the offer of a new incentive-based contract.
The 34-year-old was a fans' favourite at Turf Moor, so much so that last season one couple gave their son the first name Robbie-Blake. The striker says he hopes he does not score against the Clarets on Tuesday, although if he does he will not celebrate out of respect for the Burnley supporters.
