Watch Bolton v Macclesfield Live Stream Online Preview Prediction LINEUPS Betting Tips Odds on Wednesday 24 August 2011 Live Stream at Justin Tv and ESPN The Carling Cup After a painful experience in the Carling Cup last season, Owen Coyle is likely to want an improved challenge for the trophy when Bolton begin their campaign against Macclesfield. Following his controversial switch from Burnley to bitter rivals Bolton in January 2010, Coyle was dumped out of the cup by his former employers in the third round last September.
He will therefore be keen to make significant progress in the competition and will want to expect a positive performance against Macclesfield in this season's second round.
But Gary Simpson's League Two side will be dreaming of ensuring Bolton join the likes of Premier League Norwich, QPR and Swansea in slumping out.
New striker Tuncay is set to make his Bolton debut after finally having his work permit granted.
Steinsson absence
The Turkey forward has spent the last 10 days in limbo, waiting for the red tape to be sorted, but with international clearance already attained, manager Coyle is likely to throw him straight into the fray.
Further changes are anticipated, with Salford-born teenager Joe Riley expected to make his debut at right-back. Gretar Steinsson (foot) is definitely out.
Simpson is expected to name an unchanged Macclesfield team for the outing at the Reebok Stadium.
Although Simpson's side suffered no further injury concerns following their 0-0 draw against Bristol Rovers, current absentees Waide Fairhurst (ankle), Paul Morgan (broken arm), Colin Daniel (hernia) and Vinny Mukendi (hamstring) are unlikely to recover in time.
Mukendi is the most likely to be named on the substitutes' bench after playing a reserve game on Monday, but both he and Fairhurst will have to undergo a late fitness test on Wednesday and therefore both remain major doubts.
