Striker Heidar Helguson has recovered from the hernia problem that ruled him out of last weekend's promising opening-day victory over Stoke at the Reebok Stadium.
Megson therefore appears likely to stick with the XI who saw off the newly-promoted Potters, with record signing Johan Elmander leading the line up front once again.
Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Al Habsi, Nolan, Davies, Taylor, Muamba, Gardner, A O'Brien, Shittu, McCann, Steinsson, Hunt, Samuel, Cahill, J O'Brien, Elmander, Riga, Dzemeili, Cohen, Vaz Te, Helguson.
