| Squad sheets: Burnley v Bolton Wanderers Burnley's manager, Owen Coyle, has revealed that his Wolves counterpart Mick McCarthy laughed when he told him his January transfer budget so an answer to the Turf Moor club's parlous away form must come from within. Burnley continue to rely on their performances at home, but the improvement in the teams around them mean that might not be enough. Bolton should at least be well rested after Monday's meeting with Wigan fell foul to the weather, but they have underperformed despite possessing a squad which on paper looks well-equipped to move up the table.
