Liverpool vs Bolton - Kenny Dalglish on Bolton and transfer latest | English Premier League 2011-12
- 10 years ago
Liverpool will want to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season when they host Bolton on Saturday.
The Reds have made an decent start to the season, with a 1-1 draw against Sunderland and a 2-0 win over Arsenal under their belts so far this term fostering hopes of a title challenge.
Kenny Dalglish's side also progressed to the next round of the Carling Cup thanks to a 3-1 over Exeter, avoiding a repeat of last season's embarrassing exit at the hands of League Two outfit Northampton.
Striker Luis Suarez has been involved in everything good for Liverpool this season, scoring in each of his three appearances so far this season as well as providing a number of assists.
Dalglish will also have been pleased to see Andy Carroll break his duck for the season with a goal against Exeter, and with Dirk Kuyt also in the wings, Bolton could have their hands full stopping Liverpool from scoring.
Only captain Steven Gerrard (groin) and fullback Glen Johnson (knee) are unavailable for Liverpool, leaving Dalglish with plenty of options for Saturday's clash.
Bolton will also be confident of being able to find the net at Anfield having scored six times in their opening two EPL fixtures.
However, their 3-2 loss at home to Manchester City showed they can be vulnerable at the back, and Owen Coyle will need to shore up his defence to avoid a repeat against Liverpool.
Coyle also has a number of injury concerns, with Chung-Yong Lee, Stuart Holden, Sam Ricketts and Sean Davis all sidelined with injury.
Croatian forward Ivan Klasnic has led the line successfully in Bolton's first two Premier League outings, with two goals in as many matches, while veteran Kevin Davies opened his account for the season with a goal in the loss to Manchester City.
Bolton lost both encounters against Liverpool last season, but did lead at Anfield through a strike from Davies before succumbing to a 2-1 loss.
With Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea all to come in the next five week
