Bolton Wanderers take on Portuguese giants Sporting at the Reebok in their first leg, last 16 UEFA Cup clash from 20:00 GMT!

Bolton boss Gary Megson has steadied a sinking ship after taking the Trotters helm following Sammy Lee's brief and disastrous reign, and he does not want their UEFA Cup run to distract them from the important thing - Premier League survival.

"I hope we get many fans from this game heading over to help us at Wigan, which when all said and done is the biggest game of the next three we play," Megson said of the weekend relegation clash at the JJB.

"The priority is and always will be the Premier League. Regardless of how we shape up going into the second leg, without a doubt the focus will be on Wigan."

Skipper Kevin Nolan remains a doubt for Megson's side after having missed the weekend's defeat to Liverpool with a back strain.

But loan signing Danny Guthrie will return for the Trotters after having sat out the match against his parent club.

Gretar Steinsson and Tamir Cohen are cup-tied and Grzegorz Rasiak is not registered while El Hadji Diouf is suspended.

Brazilian striker Liedson is a doubt for Sporting after having suffered an ankle injury during the weekend's draw with Benfica.
