Bolton and Fulham kick off Sky Sports 1's double-header of live Premiership action on Sunday.

The Trotters welcome Chris Coleman's side to The Reebok Stadium this weekend after getting back on track against Watford last time out.

Prior to the win at Vicarage Road, Sam Allardyce's men had failed to claim maximum points in 2007.

Draw specialists Fulham make the trip to the North West having lost just once in eight, although only one of those games has ended in victory for The Cottagers.

That came at Craven Cottage against Newcastle last time out, the team Fulham last beat on their travels back in September.

The season's earlier meeting between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw as Jimmy Bullard's last minute penalty cancelled out El Hadji Diouf's earlier spot kick.

Bolton will be without key striker Kevin Davies for the visit of Fulham as an ankle injury again keeps him on the sidelines. 

Nicolas Anelka returned to form, and fitness, against Watford last weekend and is just one goal short of double figures for the campaign.

January arrival David Thompson is hoping to make his debut on Sunday after failing to make the 16 last weekend.

Captain Kevin Nolan will make his 200th Premiership appearance, while Ricardo Garner could reach 300 games for Bolton.

Fulham will be without the suspended Carlos Bocanegra after he picked up his fifth booking of the season against Newcastle.

Liam Rosenior, who has played every minute of Fulham's Premiership campaign, will reach 100 career appearances at the weekend.
