Team News
Sunderland
Bolton
- Craig Gardner is suspended for one match after he was sent off against former club Aston Villa, while Lee Cattermole is still a doubt.
- David Vaughan will therefore hope to start in midfield alongside Jack Colback.
- Kieran Richardson is injured so Phil Bardsley will continue to deputise at left-back with John O'Shea on the right.
- Bolton will be in buoyant mood after coming from behind to beat Villa last time out and will see an away day at struggling Sunderland as an ideal chance to claim back-to-back wins.
- They have no fresh injury concerns, so the only change could see Kevin Davies partner Ngog after making an impact having replaced Miyaichi at half time on Tuesday.
