Bolton Wanderers vs Fulham - Bolton out to stop free-scoring Fulham
Posted Friday, February 09, 2018 by PA
Bolton manager Phil Parkinson will be looking to register back-to-back clean sheets for only the second time this season against free-scoring Fulham.
A new-look back three of Dorian Dervite, David Wheater and Mark Beevers performed well in the 1-0 home win over Bristol City last time out.
Parkinson also has on-loan West Ham defender Reece Burke as an option as he tries to figure out how to stop Fulham finding the net.
On-loan Zach Clough will be pushing for a start and Jon Flanagan, who joined from Liverpool in January, will hope to figure after being an unused substitute against Bristol City. Darren Pratley is sidelined by a broken leg.
Fulham will check on the fitness of midfielder Tom Cairney.
The Cottagers captain sat out victories over Barnsley and Nottingham Forest with a knee problem.
But Cairney returned to full training on Thursday and suffered no ill-effects, so he could be back in the side.
January signing Aleksandar Mitrovic is pushing for a full debut after coming off the bench against Forest.
