Striker Clayton Donaldson returned from a groin injury to play the final nine minutes at the Madejski Stadium and could be involved against one of his former clubs. Winger Sammy Ameobi remains a doubt due to a hip problem.

Birmingham boss Garry Monk could stick with the team which drew with Swansea on Friday. Craig Gardner completes a three-match ban, so younger brother Gary Gardner is set to continue in central midfield.

City have no fresh injury problems but David Davis (ankle) and Isaac Vassell (knee) remain unavailable. Midfielder Charlie Lakin, winger Connor Mahoney, and forward Che Adams are among the players pushing for starts.

Prutton's prediction

Bolton have had a terrific start, in direction opposition to how the situation was in Lancashire last year, where the entire season was an absolute grind. It's funny one with Birmingham because you look at how well they played against Swansea last Friday, but they just weren't clinical enough. Another stalemate for me.

Prutton predicts: 0-0 (13/2 with Sky Bet)
