Middlesbrough v Bolton

Middlesbrough v Bolton April 18 2008

Bolton will be without suspended striker Kevin Davies for Saturday's Premier League trip to Middlesbrough.

Heidar Helguson could replace Davies as manager Gary Megson looks for his side to build on the victory against West Ham last weekend that eased their relegation fears.

Apart from Davies, Megson looks set to name an unchanged side at the Riverside Stadium, with Joey O'Brien, Ricardo Gardner, Nicky Hunt and goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen all unavailable because of injury.

Middlesbrough midfielder Gary O'Neil has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a knee ligament problem.

O'Neil, who would have been suspended for the next two games anyway, hopes to return to training during pre-season.

Robert Huth (foot) and Andrew Taylor (ribs) remain on the injured list, as does striker Mido (hernia).

Squads:

Middlesbrough: Schwarzer, Turnbull, Young, Grounds, McMahon, Wheater, Pogatetz, Boateng, Arca, Downing, Shawky, Rochemback, Cattermole, Johnson, Aliadiere, Alves, Tuncay.

Bolton: Al Habsi, Steinsson, Cahill, A O'Brien, Taylor, Guthrie, McCann, Nolan, Helguson, Diouf, Campo, Cohen, Samuel, Giannakopoulos, Rasiak, Alonso, Fojut, Walker, Braaten.
