Hansen, Hill ogSEASON SO FAR: Wanderers have done well to stay on the trail of runaway leaders Fulham. MANAGER: Sam Allardyce: Former Bolton player Allardyce arrived back at the club last season from Notts County and has enhanced his reputation by turning Wanderers into promotion hunters despite a lack of funds. TOP SCORER: Michael Ricketts: Powerful striker Ricketts took his tally to 18 in all competitions with a goal at Portsmouth in midweek. Bargain £250,000 summer signing from Walsall. Been compared to Emile Heskey. PREDICTED LINE-UP: Allardyce has favoured a 4-3-3 formation with Ricardo Gardner and Bo Hansen supporting the prolific Ricketts. Ex-Rover Colin Hendry has become a key figure in the defence since arriving from Coventry. ONE TO WATCH: Kevin Nolan: Teenage midfield man Nolan has firmly established himself as a first team regular after coming through the ranks at the Reebok. He's a hard worker with an eye for goal. DID YOU KNOW? Blackburn and Bolton -- who were both founder members of the Football League -- have played league games against each other in the Premiership, First, Second and Third Divisions.
