Southampton have another hard game at home if they want to progress further in this season’s cup.
New signing Guilerme Do Prado will be available if he gets international clearance in time. Whose place he takes will be interesting. Rickie Lambert will be closer to full fitness as will Adam Lallana.
With new signing ‘Guly’ on the books we may well have our central midfield playing for a starting place in future games.
Bolton could make a few changes for this game. New keeper Adam Bogdan could replace Jaaskelainan while striker Ivan Klasnic could also make his first start since signing this month.
Ex Saint Davies would love nothing more than to score against his old team.
Bolton have not been beaten by Southampton in the last seven meetings between the clubs. Overall they have 16 wins to Saints 11.
Mr Keith Hill will be in charge.
Assisted by Mr G Muge and Mr A Turner.
4th official is Mr K Johnson.
Saints 1-2
Bristol Rovers v Saints (L1) Sat 28th August.
