Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has included Jay Spearing in his team to face Hull City at the KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The midfielder joined the club on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool yesterday and will play in midfield alongside Mark Davies and Keith Andrews.

Tom Cairney misses out for the hosts due to a knee injury but Steve Bruce has welcomed back Liam Rosenior and Robert Koren after the duo recovered from their own fitness problems.

Ahmed Elmohamady earns his first start after signing a loan deal from Bruce's old club Sunderland.

Hull City: Amos, Elmohadamy, Dudgeon, Chester, Bruce, Faye, Olofinjana, Quinn, Koren, Aluko, Simpson

Bolton Wanderers: Bogdan, Mears, Knight, Ream, Ricketts, Chung-Yong, Spearing, Andrews, M Davies, Eagles, K Davies
