Kevin Davies returned following a one-match ban and Anelka's big-money move to Chelsea saw him move back to his preferred central role for Bolton. Roque Santa Cruz, David Dunn, Steven Reid and Andre Ooijer were all included by Blackburn boss Mark Hughes. Bolton were looking to chalk up their fifth successive home league victory and Ivan Campo had Blackburn on the back foot in the fifth minute with a long throw Davies got away from his marker and flicked the ball on but Ooijer was able to make the clearance. Blackburn responded and David Bentley saw his 20-yard drive well taken by goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen. Then Campo rattled in a shot from distance that whistled over Brad Friedel's bar. Bentley almost put Blackburn ahead in the 17th minute with a fine free-kick that just curled over the bar. Bolton's new recruit Tamir Cohen tried to pick out Stelios Giannakopoulos at the back post in the 22nd minute but Friedel came out to make the interception.
