Left out again

West Bromwich Albion travel north tomorrow to face Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium in what is a true Premiership relegation six pointer.

Whites manager Sam Allardyce is expected to name an unchanged squad from the side that produced a much improved, yet ultimately fruitless, performance away to Birmingham City last week.
Bernard Mendy and Ricardo Gardner are set to continue in their wing back roles with all eyes fixed on Jay Jay Okocha as Bolton fans hope that he can carry on from last week's impressive performance to produce another good performance and guide Bolton to a vital three points. Midfield starlet Kevin Nolan is again left out and Irish international Gareth Farrelly will continue in his place.

Probable team (3-2-3-2)

GK - Jussi Jaaskelainen
CB - Bruno N'Gotty

WB - Bernard Mendy
