Bolton Wanderers vs Millwall - Goalkeeper Ben Alnwick set for first league start when Bolton host Millwall

Bolton goalkeeper Ben Alnwick will make his full league debut for the club in the home game against Millwall.

Alnwick, limited to two Checkatrade Trophy starts this season, will step in for Mark Howard (hand), who he came off the bench to replace in last week's defeat at Peterborough.

Midfielder Jay Spearing is back in contention after missing the last four games due to a groin injury, but Darren Pratley (broken leg) and Mark Davies (knee) are still out.

Striker Max Clayton could be involved after recently making his first appearance in a year against Cheltenham in the Checkatrade Trophy.

Millwall will be without two players for the trip to the Macron Stadium.

Striker Steve Morison is expected to be out for another three weeks with a knee injury and will not be available this weekend.

Defender Shaun Hutchinson is also unlikely to be risked as he continues to recover from a recurring hamstring problem that flared up during the FA Cup victory over Luton last week.

Millwall sit ninth in the Sky Bet League One table, seven points behind Bolton, but have managed five consecutive victories since losing to the Trotters in the reverse fixture last month.
