Bolton Wanderers can earn their first league win of the season if they overcome Middlesbrough at the Macron Stadium on Tuesday night.

Dougie Freedman's side have endured a tough start to the campaign, but will be buoyed by the point earned against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Freedman might be able to welcome back Dean Moxey after he injured himself on the opening weekend of the season, but Mark Davies isn't yet ready to return to action.

Middlesbrough's early-season bubble was burst at the weekend as they conceded their first goal of the season in the dying moments to suffer defeat at Leeds United.

Aitor Karanka has no need to change his starting lineup, but might want to give Adam Clayton his full debut.

The corresponding fixture was on New Year's Day earlier this year and finished in a 2-2 draw thanks to David N'Gog's late goal.
