Coyle's old boys up first

Bolton return to life in the npower Championship with a spicy Lancashire derby at Burnley.

The Trotters, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, then face home games against Derby and Nottingham Forest. They make the visit to also-relegated Blackburn on November 28, while the return fixture with the Clarets is on February 9, with the visit of Rovers comes a month later on March 5. Boxing Day sees Sheffield Wednesday arrive at the Reebok Stadium, with Birmingham coming three days later, and the season comes to a close with home clash against Blackpool.
