Jimmy Phillips side will be anxious to put the disappointment of Monday's Lancashire Senior Cup exit out of their minds and concentrate on todays league game against the Blues.

In this fixture last season a strike from Joey O'Brien gave the Trotters a share of the points in a 1-1 draw whilst the game at Damson Park was a 2-0 victory for Birmingham.

International pair Ali Al-Habsi and Jared Borgetti are in the Bolton starting line up as is first team fringe player Jarostaw Fojut who starred in the recent draw in the Premiership game at Portsmouth.

Neil Kilkenny, Mathew Sadler and Alex Bruce are the players with first team experience in Keith Bertschin's Birmingham team. Striker Oliver Allen is part of the famous Allen family which includes Bradley, Clive, Denis, Paul and Les.
