Team News
- Bolton have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their game with Arsenal and should therefore start with the same side that won in the league over Liverpool last time out.
- The likes of Knight, Steinsson and Muamba were rested in the cup, though the latter could struggle to make his way back into the team ahead of Darren Pratley who scored against his former club Swansea at the weekend.
- Club captain Kevin Davies has fallen out of favour under Owen Coyle, with David Ngog continuing to start up front, though the club rejected a surprise bid from Sunderland for his services.
- Bolton completed the loan signing of Arsenal's Ryo Miyaichi on deadline day but the teenager cannot play against his parent club.
- Arsenal's injury list has almost halved since losing their last 3 games in the Premier League, with Sagna back fit and Coquelin, Arteta and Henry all making appearances against Villa.
- The Gunners were, however, rocked by the news that Jack Wilshere has suffered another setback to his recovery from injury and may be out for some time.
- Wenger may decide to ease Sagna back into action, keeping Coquelin at right-back, though Szczesny will definitely return to the line-up after being rested in the cup.
Prediction
- Arsenal have won 10 of their last 11 matches against Bolton in all competitions but their solitary defeat in that run did come in their last trip to the Reebok, losing 2-1 to a last minute winner from Tamir Cohen last season.
- Despite their excellent record over the Trotters, Arsenal haven't eased to victory often in recent encounters, conceding in 9 of their last 12 meetings with Bolton.
- Bolton's win over Liverpool last time out was only their second in the league at the Reebok all season and they will look to kick on against an Arsenal side that have lost 3 of their last 4 league matches on the road and weren't convincing in their victory over Villa at the weekend.
- PREDICTION: Arsenal win 3-1

See all 6 commentsas a team they generally look stronger. they've had a hard time of late, but finally they seem to be getting their strongest 11 together. time for a change in fontunes and a win here tongiht will start that off
If and when Sagna comes back to the starting line-up, Arsenal will finally have something that resembles a strong defensive line!
Saying that, the lack of goals coming from the Bolton starting XI will be a concern for Coyle
Well if there's one thing we should be garunteed tonight its goals! And I'm gonna put it out there... RVP may just get one or two...
Bolton will be on a high after last week. Beating Liverpool so comprehensively should give them the encouragement to try and do the same again tonigh. Be wary Arsenal
Wilshere with another set-back, hopefully we'll see him this season though, he's a big loss
