England Under-21 defender Ben Thatcher is also out through injury.

The former England Under- 21 winger could partner John Hartson in attack, as Samassi Abou starts a two-match ban and Paul Kitson is still struggling with a groin injury. Paolo Di Canio sits out the game due to a one-match ban while midfielder Graham Hyde completes a two-match suspension.

Liverpool will move into second place behind Manchester United if they win today.Blackburn winger Stuart Ripley and midfielder Lars Bohinen have both passed fitness tests, so manager Roy Hodgson could well decide to keep faith with the team who started the FA Cup fourth-round 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday on Monday. Ripley has made a remarkable recovery from the knee injury he picked up at Hillsborough, while Bohinen has shrugged off a troublesome calf strain that has kept him out of contention him of late. As the visitors have only got four on their travels and Bolton nine at home, anything more than a 0-0 draw will be a bonus.. Arsenal will be without Martin Keown (hamstring), injured against Coventry two weeks ago Ian Wright and David Seaman are also both still injured. Carragher is expected take his place on the pitch alongside Paul Ince following Redknapp’s cartilage operation this week.
