Watch all of Sky Sports' Heineken Cup games online complete with facts, stats ... - SkySports Apr 9th 2012, 13:00 1 Not the best of starts as Newcastle immediately go long towards Cisse to gift the ball to Bolton, who then go aerial for Kevin Davies. KICK-OFF: Newcastle get the game going. 14.57 Here come the teams. Coloccini and Kevin Davies lead out Newcastle and Bolton, respectively, from the tunnel. 14.52 The St James' Park ground-staff have the sprinklers working on the pitch ahead of kick-off, presumably aiming to slicken the field for passing against a Bolton team who are designed to defend. 14.50 Bolton have drawn just one of their last 28 Premier League away games and that came last season at St James Park. The last four meetings between Bolton and Newcastle at St James Park have seen one win apiece, two draws and just six goals. 14.46 Jeff Armstrong in China says: "Much harder game than people seem to think for Newcastle and i can't see many goals in this game, but I'll go for a hard fought 1-0 win for the Toon." 14.45 If you fancy a flutter, Sky Bet have all the latest odds. They say: "Newcastle (8/15 to win) are unbeaten in eight games against teams in the bottom five of the table, suggesting Bolton (11/2 to win) will struggle to take anything from today's game. After scoring five goals in five games at home, Cisse looks likely to find the net again this afternoon, he is 7/2 to score first and 9/2 to score a brace." 14.41 Both teams are out on the pitch at St James' Park and are going through their pre-match warm-up routines. Another five minutes and then they will be back into the changing rooms to prepare for the 3pm kick-off. 14.40 Kieran Palmer says: "Today may be a tough game. Both teams will defend well but I can see Newcastle's strike force being too much for Bolton. I'm going for a 3-0 Newcastle victory." 14.36 Luke Barnes says: "Tough game for Bolton today. Newcastle have been amazing at best. If Bolton can get a draw today will it be a very good result." 14.32 Here is a round-up of the team news. Skipper Coloccini returns to boost Newcastle. The central defender is included after recovering from the hamstring injury which had kept him out of the previous two games. But key midfielder Cheick Tiote is missing with a similar problem picked up in Friday's 2-0 victory at Swansea. Bolton boss Coyle makes three changes to the side beaten 3-0 at home by Fulham on Saturday as Gretar Steinsson, Chris Eagles and Kevin Davies replace Marcos Alonso, Miyaichi and David Ngog. 14.30 Today's referee is Mike Jones 14.27 Patrick Sneddon says: "I can't see Newcastle not winning today, and I can't see Cisse not scoring. Bolton will definitely put up a fight but I think it will be five wins in a row for the Toon." 14.25 Scott D says: "Hard-fought game. Toon will defend well as usual and push up by dominating midfield. Getting the ball forward at the earliest opportunity. Another early goal for Newcastle. Home win. 4-1 (Ba, Cisse, HBA & Gutierrez)." 14.22 Bolton fans, Miyaichi has dropped to the bench from the defeat by Fulham. Are you disappointed he is not starting? 14.20 Cisse will be the obvious threat to Bolton after scoring five goals in five appearances at St James' Park. Newcastle fans, how excited are you about your front trio of Cisse, Hatem Ben Arfa and Demba Ba? Drop me a line at peter.fraser@bskyb.com or via Twitter @SkySportsPeteF. I will publish the best comments. 14.18 Newcastle are also unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games at St James' Park, winning five. Bolton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 41 Premier League games on the road. 14.16 Newcastle have timed a winning run to perfection after taking three points in their last four successive matches to make a top-four finish a genuine possibility - they are three points behind Tottenham, who host Norwich. Bolton were also in good form, winning three games in a row before the defeat to Fulham. Owen Coyle will be desperate for what would be a shock victory on Tyneside. 14.13 Lewis Foskett says: "I expect a win here despite the lack of depth in our squad at the moment. Bolton are really struggling despite their three match winning streak prior to Saturday's loss. And we are on a four match winning streak. I'd say 3-0 Newcastle. Ba is in need of a goal; he will score. So too will Cisse and Williamson. But be warned. Bolton are not an easy team to beat!" 14.07 Bolton team: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Eagles, M Davies, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov, K Davies. Subs: Jaaskelainen, Alonso, Knight, Klasnic, Ngog, Sordell, Miyaichi. 14.04 Newcastle team: Krul, Simpson, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Cabaye, Perch, Gutierrez; Ben Arfa, Ba, Cisse. Subs: Elliot, Ferguson, Tavernier, R.Taylor, Abeid, Gosling, Ameobi. 14.00 In his pre-match programme notes, Pardew has warned his players they would be making a mistake if they leave Newcastle for a supposedly 'big-name club' in the summer. Will Newcastle face a battle to hang on to some of their star men? Get in touch throughout the afternoon and I will publish a selection of the best comments. 13.54 I did not expect either side to be in their current position come this stage of the season. I thought Bolton would be comfortably in mid-table. As for Newcastle, as was among the many who predicted a season of struggle. Alan Pardew, though, has done an incredible job in terms of signings and appeasing fans. He would easily get my vote as manager of the year. 13.50 This is an important game at both ends of the table, with Newcastle chasing the UEFA Champions League places and Bolton fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. What do you think will happen?
