Bolton have not scored in their last three matches, so manager Owen Coyle may recall striker Ivan Klasnic.
On-loan winger Vladimir Weiss and midfielder Matthew Taylor are also pushing for a start.

MATCH PREVIEW
From trouble to a possible Double - Chelsea have emphatically turned their season around in the last three weeks.
We've got our eyes on the Double now. We are back at the top of the Premier League with five games to go and we are in the FA Cup final so that's what our sights are on
Chelsea captain John Terry
Four successive wins have been gleaned, and 17 goals scored, since the club's internal inquest into their Champions League exit and faltering league form.
A place in the FA Cup final was secured on Saturday, and victory over Bolton would ensure that what was recently a four-point deficit at the top of the league will become a four-point lead with only four games remaining.
With the league title now Chelsea's to lose, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been reduced to trying to motivate a Bolton side that has already suffered two 4-0 defeats to Chelsea this season in the league and Carling Cup.
Ferguson says this fixture is an "easy game" for Chelsea. It was a comment obviously designed to rouse Bolton's players into a rebuttal. However, he has a point: Bolton have lost their last three matches without scoring a goal, their worst run under manager Owen Coyle, and are not yet safe from relegation.
