Bolton Wanderers
WANDERERS' boss Sam Allardyce has told his play to go out and play
without fear, when Manchester United visit the Reebok Stadium for
the top of table clash in the Barclays Premiership this
weekend
Jaaskelainen, 31, prepares to face Manchester United on Saturday
having chalked up six clean sheets in nine league games.
He managed to improve on that record last Sunday by saving two
penalties in the victory against Blackburn.
Bolton have yet to concede a goal in four home league games and
Allardyce added: ``We have to cope with what United will throw at
us.
"But we are proud of our defensive record and will use that as
catalyst to try and maintain it.''
Three wins and a draw on home soil already this season has taken
Sam Allardyce's men into the top three and the Trotters know
victory, coupled with an unlikely Sheffield United triumph over
Chelsea at Bramall Lane, will see them replace tomorrow's opponents
at the top.
Skipper Kevin Nolan is suspended and that could see a starting
place for Greece winger Stelios Giannakopoulos.
Manchester United
And Van der Sar feels any talk about Rooney's demise has been well
wide of the mark."Nobody here has any doubts about Wayne,'' said
the giant Dutchman.
Although Tomasz Kuszczak was one of the few United players to
impress at Crewe in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, Van der Sar is
certain to return at the Reebok Stadium, where the Red Devils were
one of only three sides to beat Bolton in the Premiership last
term.
Cristiano Ronaldo may return in place of Darren Fletcher, while
Patrice Evra's place is under threat from both Gabriel Heinze and
Mikael Silvestre.
Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Faye, Meite, Ben Haim,
Giannakopoulos, Campo, Speed, Tal, Davies, Diouf, Anelka, Walker,
Pedersen, Vaz Te, Fojut, Smith, Al Habsi.
Manchester United: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville,
Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, O'Shea, Silvestre, Evra, Heinz, Fletcher,
Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Richardson, Saha, Rooney, Smith,
Solskjaer.
