Fellow Premiership strugglers Leeds United travel across the Pennines tomorrow night for a vital relegation dogfight at the Reebok which is to be screened live across the nation by Sky Sports.

Bolton's threadbare defence will be boosted by the return of veteran Mike Whitlow and French colossus Bruno N'Gotty. Whitlow has recovered from a hamstring injury and N'Gotty returns after completing a three match suspension.

Leeds midfielder Lee Bowyer will play despite being investigated by UEFA for an alleged stamp on the head of a Malaga player's head when Leeds lost against the Spanish side in the UEFA Cup on Thursday night.

The last meeting between the sides came exactly a month ago when Henrik Pedersen's two goals helped Bolton to a magnificent 4-2 victory at Elland Road. Bolton will see that as a huge pyschological advantage going in to the game and Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce took his entire squad to see Leeds lose on Thursday night which should boost Bolton's confidence even further. However, Leeds have undoubted quality through their team and on their day are one of the best teams in the Premiership despite their struggling form and lowly League position.

It promises to be a thrilling Roses battle between the sides, make sure you're there and cheer the Wanderers on to victory!
