Last season's FA Cup runners-up play the Trotters in the competition's Third Round at Macron Stadium this weekend before a trip to West Ham in the Premier League seven days later, and will hope Loic Remy will finally mark his mark on loan from Chelsea.

WHAT THEY SAID
Sam Allardyce: "If Loic can hit the form and heights he's hit in the Premier League before, he could lift the team and be a big goal-scoring threat.
"Particularly the goals he has scored in the past and with his use of pace, he could work well, alongside the other goalscorers we've already got in the squad.
"He'll play some part of the game, but it's like a pre-season for him in his first competitive game."
PREDICTION
HEAD TO HEAD (H2H)
HEARTBREAK
Palace were 12 minutes from FA Cup glory back in May after Jason Puncheon's late strike and today begin their quest to go one better.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS
The players are warming up at a foggy Macron Stadium as Crystal Palace look for their first victory under new boss Sam Allardyce.
He's back at his old hunting ground this afternoon with the FA Cup runners-up. Of course, Palace won't need reminding how close they came last May and perhaps a cup run could help kick-start their Premier League campaign.
HAVE YOUR SAY
ALLARDYCE RETURNS
"Bolton put me on the map, which I’m very grateful for, started me off on a great career in management.”
HEAD-TO-HEAD
128 DAYS LATER
Loic Remy will make his long-awaited Crystal Palace debut in Saturday's FA Cup clash at Bolton after joining the club on loan from Chelsea in August.
France striker Remy picked up a thigh injury just days after joining the Eagles in late August and has been unable to feature since.
Meanwhile, Julian Speroni will set a new all-time Palace record of 389 appearances.
