Bolton could jump ahead of Birmingham today in the Premiership if they grab a victory at the Reebok Stadium today. However, McLeish has turned around Birmingham's form since arriving and they will be keen to get some points today.
Suspensions and Injuries
The Trotters are boosted with the return of defender Andy OâBrien from food poisoning and midfielder Kevin Nolan is fit again after a foot injury.
Striker Heidar Helguson is not match fit as yet after having returned to training from ankle problem.
For Alex McLeish's side, defender Liam Ridgewell is suspended for one game for accumulating five bookings. Midfielder Mehdi Nafti could feature for the Blues.
McLeish: Bolton have good players
"Bolton have got a lot of good players in their team. They can mix it and can play football as well.
"They have some pretty good assets up front, not forgetting the speed and technique of Anelka.
"He has been around for a long time. He has had many clubs and has played for his country. He is a top player. He will beat most people in a sprint."
Squads
Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Al Habsi, Hunt, A O'Brien, Meite, Cid, Gardner, Giannakopoulos, Guthrie, McCann, Nolan, Alonso, Speed, Teymourian, Wilhelmsson, Davies, Anelka, Diouf, Samuel, Al Habsi, Michalik, Braaten.

Eyefootball Premiership Predictor
Bolton 2-0 Birmingham
Another relegation battle possibly here, and Bolton must get points if they are to move out of the drop zone area. These six point home games are absolutely crucial. Luckily, they probably will.
Goalscorer: Nicolas Anelka
