Preview: Newcastle United vs. Bolton Wanderers

Newcastle vs. Bolton

In Papiss Cisse, Newcastle United have one of the most clinical strikers in the Premier League over recent matches.

Visiting Bolton will be coming up against a centre-forward that found the net on nine occasions from just eight outings.

Cisse's goals are a large reason why the Magpies head into this fixture with a chance of securing Champions League football next season.

However, Newcastle may have to make do without the services of central midfield pair Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote because of injuries.

Wanderers have a fitness doubt over full-back Marcos Alonso, who is struggling with a calf complaint.

Struggling Bolton have only won once at the Sports Direct Arena since the Premier League was formed in 1992.

Current form:

Newcastle: DLWWWW Bolton: LLWWWL

Possible lineups:

Newcastle: Krul; Williamson, Perch, Simpson, Santon; Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Cabaye, Taylor; Cisse, Ba

Bolton: Bogdan; Wheater, Ricketts, Steinsson, Ream; Petrov, Reo-Coker, Eagles, Davies, Miyaichi; Klasnic

Sports Mole says: 2-0
