Reasoning	Bolton lost in the midweek FA Cup in the extra time from West ham. This will certainly affect on players performance for this match. That loss is having two bad effects. Physical and mental. Physical because probably players are tired after that match and mental because every loss is painful but loss after extra time is very painful to all players. Sunderland changed McCarty but he wasn't the reason of their awful display this season. This poor season is mainly because of their lack of quality. I think that many of Sunderland players do not posses enough quality to play top football. They showed to us many time this season. Only thing that I admire Sunderland players is their desire to play. They are fighting a lot, but only fighting is not bringing points. Allardyce lost two points in first match between these two teams (ended 0:0) and now for sure is searching for revenge. He wants the England job very much and he will do everything he could to catch some European spot for next season to prove to all that he is capable of great things. Bolton will be without Diuf and Sunderland only important absence has in the eyes of their best midfielder (and player for sure) Arca.
