Bolton defender Knight aware of Everton and Saha threat

Bolton centre-half Zat Knight is well aware of the threat that Everton striker Louis Saha poses.

The Trotters are away to the Toffees tomorrow night and Knight knows that the talented but injury-prone Frenchman has the ability to cause plenty of trouble for his opponents.

"I know Louis very well," Knight told the club's official website. "We obviously played together at Fulham. He's another dangerous player they have and hopefully I can keep him quiet.

"He was great for us at Fulham. It was at a time when we were establishing ourselves in the Premier League and for him to come in and score so many goals was phenomenal.

"Since then he's had one or two injuries and things maybe haven't gone as he would have hoped, but there's no doubting that on his day he's the complete striker.

"Everton also have a number of other dangerous players so we know we'll have to be at our best. We need to go back to basics and make it a real dogfight of a game.

"We need to be hard to beat because this season that hasn't been the case. When a goal goes in our heads seem to drop. When we conceded goals last season it galvanised us."
