The Reds have lost their leadership in the Barclays Premier Reserve
League North to Manchester United, but McMahon's side are only two
points behind in second place with a game in hand.
"It's going to be a tough game and Bolton are a tough outfit to break down," McMahon told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"We beat them earlier in the season 3-1 and we played some good
football on the night, and if we show a good attitude again and the
application is right then we will go there full of confidence."
In the last round of this competition Liverpool beat Manchester
United on penalties - their second victory over their rivals from down
the M62 this season.
"I thought we deserved it and it's always nice to beat Manchester United," he added.
" It's always nice to win any game but to beat them always adds a little bit of spice.
"Hopefully we can progress in this competition further. We want to play well and learn from every game."
