Bolton Wanderers team news

Bolton manager Gary Megson has an almost fully fit squad to pick from.

Striker Johan Elmander made his return to first-team action after a hamstring injury when he came off the bench against Chelsea in the Carling Cup tie between the two teams on Wednesday night.

Only long-term absentees Joey O'Brien and Sean Davis, who both have knee problems, remain on the sidelines.

Chelsea team news

Chelsea have doubts over striker Salomon Kalou and defender Branislav Ivanovic ahead of their trip to Bolton.

Both will undergo late fitness tests after collecting minor knocks in the Carling Cup win over Wanderers in midweek.

But Ashley Cole (ankle), Jose Bosingwa (knee), Yury Zhirkov (knee), John Mikel Obi (knee) and Hilario (concussion) are all out.

However, Chelsea welcome back John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho, Nicolas Anelka, Michael Essien and Frank Lampard. They were all rested in midweek.
