Bolton Wanderers v Blackburn Rovers, March 24th at 15:00 GMT
All eyes will be on the Reebok Stadium as the footballing world tunes in to support the Bolton team after a week from hell.
Bolton Team News:
The 11 men who line up for the home side this weekend will be those deemed strong enough to cope with the pressure.
Blackburn Team News:
Steve Kean has the unenviable task of fielding a team who the football world will be, by default, against.

This game is less of a footballing spectacle and more of an outpouring of emotion and support for the hospitalised Fabrice Muamba.
A week after his dramatic and life-threatening collapse at White Hart Lane, Muamba's team mates will take the field in the Premier Leage in what I imagine will be more of a healing event than a competitive game.
The lads who pull on the Blackburn shirts are there to make up the numbers and allow football normalcy to resume.
Where we would normally expect a rip-roaring, blood-and-thunder meeting of two physical sides, I imagine we will see a sedate affair, largely going through the motions. or the exact opposite.
Fabrice Muamba is a competitive lad with a lot of
fight, as the last week has proven. When the opening formalities are behind the players, we could see a cathartic display of combative football that could result in a lot of goals and a way for emotions to be vented.
If you have a suggestion for next weekend's game of the week, let me know!
