Preview: Bolton Wanderers vs. Huddersfield Town

Sports Mole peers ahead to Saturday's Championship match at the Macron Stadium as Bolton Wanderers take on Huddersfield Town.

Bolton Wanderers will make it four wins in four home games under Neil Lennon if they put Huddersfield Town to the sword in Saturday afternoon's Championship match at the Macron Stadium.

Lennon's arrival has seen a drastic upturn in form at home, with three goals scored by the Trotters in the victories over Brentford, Cardiff City and Wigan Athletic.

They are also unbeaten in three games but will have been a little disappointed to only draw at the league's bottom club Blackpool last weekend.

Lee Chung-yong scored their equaliser at Bloomfield Road, and the Korean has been involved in three of the club's last four goals (two goals, one assist).

Despite their improved form under Lennon, the Lancashire club are only outside the bottom three on goal difference and could drop to 23rd if things don't go their way this weekend.

Huddersfield come into the game without a win in three games and with just one victory in six after an impressive seven-game unbeaten run previously.

Last weekend they were held to a goalless draw at home to fellow Yorkshire side Sheffield Wednesday, and go into this game 14th but just three points better off than Bolton in 21st in what is a tight bottom half of the table.

Chris Powell has a dilemma in goal, with Alex Smithies returning to fitness and Joe Murphy impressing with a clean sheet against Wednesday.

He also needs to decide whether to start Nahki Wells after he came off the bench and had an impact up front against the Owls. James Vaughan is also back in training but won't be fit in time to feature at the Macron.

The last three games between these two sides have been 1-0 wins, with both games last season going the way of the visitors. Huddersfield's win almost a year ago was their only victory in seven trips to Bolton.

Bolton:

Recent form: LWLWWD

Possible starting lineup: Lonergan; Ream, Mills, Dervite, Vela; Feeney, Danns, Pratley, Chung-Yong; Clayton, Davies
