Bolton VS Liverpool : Match Preview

Bolton boss Owen Coyle said few days ago that he
believed Roy Hodgson is the man to take Liverpool
back to the top, so he should have no complain at all
when the Reds beat his team convincingly at the
Reebok Stadium tonight.

Hodgson is likely to field an almost identical, if not
entirely the same lineup in the match, although I hope to
see some chances in the midfield players. I hope to see
the same back-4 with Kyrgiakos continues to partner
Skrtel in central defense and Carragher at the right-back
and Konchesky completing the left-back role. Glen Johnson
will face a late fitness test to determine he is fully fit for the
match, but I say, let him be in the reserves and use him
only when required. With Kyrgiakos around, he will be
a menace to the Bolton's defense during free-kick and corners
and he maybe able to add a goal or two.

I hope to see some changes made to the midfield as I
really don't see how Maxi can continue to be featured in
matches when his performance is nothing great to talk about.
Continue to put Lucas and Meireles at the central-midfield
and Gerrald supporting Torres in attack, but switch the left
midfield role to Jovanovic and Cole at the right side.
Somehow, I don't understand why Jovanovic is sitting at
the reserves while Maxi continue to run around like a headless fly.
Let Jovanovic show us what he can do as he run around
the defense well and with his height advantage, he is a threat
at corners and free-kick again.

This is a match that I hope and see Liverpool continue the
momentum and producing another victory as long as the
team treat the match to be another must-win and play
like one. Hodgson must also act fast if the team is underperforming
and is being pin-down by Bolton (which I hope I will never see),
and makes changes to the team to correct the situation.

Bolton's goal threat will be coming from veteran striker
Kelvin Davies who is tremendous in the air and at holding up
the ball, and this is what Kyrgiakos will be called to counteract.

Expect to see a tough fight match tonight but the eventual victor
will be a convincing win for the Reds and the scoreline should stands
Bolton 0 - 2 Liverpool.

Players to watch out for: Kelvin Davies, Lee Chung-Yong, Martin Petrov
