14.22 Bolton fans, Miyaichi has dropped to the bench from the defeat by Fulham. Are you disappointed he is not starting?
14.20 Cisse will be the obvious threat to Bolton after scoring five goals in five appearances at St James' Park. Newcastle fans, how excited are you about your front trio of Cisse, Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba? Drop me a line at peter.fraser@bskyb.com or via Twitter @SkySportsPeteF. I will publish the best comments.
14.18 Newcastle are also unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games at St James' Park, winning five. Bolton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 41 Premier League games on the road.
14.16 Newcastle have timed a winning run to perfection after taking three points in their last four successive matches to make a top-four finish a genuine possibility - they are three points behind Tottenham, who host Norwich. Bolton were also in good form, winning three games in a row before the defeat to Fulham. Owen Coyle will be desperate for what would be a shock victory on Tyneside.
14.13 Lewis Foskett says: "I expect a win here despite the lack of depth in our squad at the moment. Bolton are really struggling despite their three match winning streak prior to Saturday's loss. And we are on a four match winning streak. I'd say 3-0 Newcastle. Ba is in need of a goal; he will score. So too will Cisse and Williamson. But be warned. Bolton are not an easy team to beat!"
14.07 Bolton team: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Eagles, M Davies, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov, K Davies. Subs: Jaaskelainen, Alonso, Knight, Klasnic, Ngog, Sordell, Miyaichi.
14.04 Newcastle team: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Cabaye, Perch, Gutierrez; Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse. Subs: Elliot, Ferguson, Tavernier, R.Taylor, Abeid, Gosling, Ameobi.
14.00 In his pre-match programme notes, Pardew has warned his players they would be making a mistake if they leave Newcastle for a supposedly 'big-name club' in the summer. Will Newcastle face a battle to hang on to some of their star men? Get in touch throughout the afternoon and I will publish a selection of the best comments.
13.54 I did not expect either side to be in their current position come this stage of the season. I thought Bolton would be comfortably in mid-table. As for Newcastle, as was among the many who predicted a season of struggle. Alan Pardew, though, has done an incredible job in terms of signings and appeasing fans. He would easily get my vote as manager of the year.
13.50 This is an important game at both ends of the table, with Newcastle chasing the UEFA Champions League places and Bolton fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. What do you think will happen? You can get in touch at peter.fraser@bskyb.com or via Twitter @SkySportsPeteF.
