Davies starts for Bolton

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has opted for a mixture of experience and youth in his strikeforce to face Burnley this afternoon.

Coyle has named veteran Kevin Davies alongside Marvin Sordell up front for their first game back in the second tier of English football, while the likes of Martin Petrov and Keith Andrews, who makes his debut for the club, give the midfield some Premier League experience.

Meanwhile, Burnley's top scorer in the league last season, Charlie Austin, partners Martin Paterson up front, while Jason Shackell and Joseph Mills will make their debuts.

Burnley: Grant; Trippier, Edgar, Shackell, Mills; McCann, Wallace, Marney, Stanislas; Paterson, Austin

Bolton: Bogdan; Mears, Ream, Knight, Ricketts; Petrov, Andrews, M Davies, Lee; K Davies, Sordell
