SATURDAY: Wanderers have weekend off but lose ground in the battle to beat the drop as West Ham draw level on points, beating Spurs 2-0 to record their second successive Premiership win.

SUNDAY

SAM Allardyce is tipped to make a move for Brazilian defender Diego de Silva Giaretta.

MONDAY

BIRMINGHAM beat Aston Villa 2-0 in a stormy Villa Park derby to pull six points clear of Wanderers.

TUESDAY

A REEBOK crowd of more than 14,000 see an Africa Select Xl beat a Rest of the World Xl 7-4 in a charity match in aid of the Kanu Heart Foundation. Jay-Jay Okocha, Bernard Mendy, Ivan Campo, Delroy Facey, Bulent Akin and Stig Tofting get runouts in the showpiece game that raises in excess of £100,000 towards bringing needy African children to Britain for heart surgery.

WEDNESDAY

RICARDO Gardner spells out his determination to make up for the error that led to Manchester United's late equaliser in the Reebok derby, stressing that with the same level of performance, Wanderers can win at Liverpool. Ndiwa Lord-Kangana, the young defender from Sweden whose Reebok transfer fell through on deadline day, says he will finally become a Bolton player in the summer.

THURSDAY

PER Frandsen may have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench when Wanderers resume their Premiership survival battle at Liverpool. The Dane - a frontrunner for Player of the Year after a string of consistently impressive performances - is available again after suspension but will not get a place in the starting line-up if Sam Allardyce stands by the players who performed so well against United.

FRIDAY

SALVA Ballesta will be asked to give Wanderers the benefit of the talents that made him one of the most lethal finishers in Spain. The Valencia striker, once a leading scorer in La Liga, will make his first Premiership start at Anfield when he steps in for the injured Henrik Pedersen. Allardyce says he has a plan to snuff out Liverpool and their lethal striker Michael Owen. Kevin Nolan admits he has been 'sulking like a baby' after failing to maintain a place in the starting line-up.
