Latest Score: Bolton Wanderers 1 Albion 0MATCH UPDATES
31: Great build-up play again from Albion but Bruno's long range effort is dragged wide.
20:GOAL! Completely against the run of play but Wanderers lead. Swift counter attack and Marcos Alonso drills his low strike into the bottom corner from outside the box.
19: Gus Poyet's side on top here and another top quality delivery fro David Lopez finds Leonardo Ulloa who heads across goal but somehow the Bolton defence clear before Barnes can stab home. Albion collect the loose ball and Bruno picks out the returning Andrew Crofts who cracks the outside of the post with his first-time effort.
11: Albion are looking hungry here and come even closer to an opening goal. Once again Barnes is involved as David Lopez's intelligent free-kick picks out the forward, who takes the ball down on his chest before seeing his fierce half-volley excellently tipped wide by Lonergan.
09: Best chance of the game so far as Barnes rises unmarked to meet Bruno's cross, but directs his effort off target.
07: Good feet from David Ngog who works himself some room on the edge of the box, however his effort is easily gathered by Tomasz Kuszczak
04: Almost an opening for Albion as Liam Bridcutt, fresh from his Scotland call-up, plays through Barnes but Zat Knight blocks the striker's attempt.
03: Chipped cross in from David Lopez just beyond Ashley Barnes; Wayne Bridge attempts to loft ball back into area but his cross goes straight into Andrew Lonergan's hands.
01: Underway here at the Reebok Stadium as two of the Championship's in-form sides go head to head.

Spanish midfielder Vicente starts in place of Andrea Orlandi while Leonardo Ulloa replaces Craig Mackail-Smith who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an Achilles injury he suffered on Tuesday night.
Elsewhere, left-back Wayne Bridge returns to the starting line-up and so does Ashley Barnes; Inigo Calderon and Will Buckley drop out.
Bolton boss Dougie Freedman makes one change to the side that won their Lancashire derby 1-0 in midweek.

Former Albion striker Craig Davies has been named among the substitutes.
