Sunderland vs Bolton Match Preview
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce will be grateful that several injured players are nearing return. Injuries to Kenwyne Jones, Boudewijn Zenden and Keiron Richardson among others, as well as a suspension to defender Michael Turner, have taken their toll on the Black Cats who have three draws and three losses in their most recent Premier League matches. Bruce must also be grateful that the match against Bolton will be at the Stadium of Light, for Sunderland\\\'s away record is not to be envied.
Bolton look set to gain a managerial replacement for Gary Megson, and they\\\'re doing so at the expense of Burnley. But the deal for the popular Scot Owen Coyle is yet to be finalized so Bolton will likely take the field against Sunderland on Saturday under the guidance of caretaker manager Chris Evans. Evans steered Bolton to a 4-0 FA Cup Round 3 victory over League Two side Lincoln City on Saturday, but claims he\\\'s not interested in the manager\\\'s position on a full-time basis. Evans will have a nearly complete and healthy squad to choose from for the Sunderland match with only defender Joey O\\\'Brien and midfielder Sean Davis unavailable due to injury
