Squad sheets: Manchester United v Bolton Wanderers

Manchester United have dropped only two points at home all season, whereas Bolton have not won away in the league since November, but Sir Alex Ferguson could be excused for feeling a little uncomfortable as he begins his five-match touchline ban. United's injury problems are considerable and, if Jonny Evans is not passed fit, it may be that a midfielder, Darren Fletcher or Michael Carrick, has to play instead of Wes Brown at right-back. Add to that Paul Scholes starting a two-match ban for accumulating ten yellow cards and Bolton, potential FA Cup final opponents, can believe they have at least a chance of ending a run of seven successive defeats at Old Trafford.
