Preview: Bolton vs Man Utd

Preview: Bolton vs Man Utd

24 November 2007 - 14:19

Nobody has won more games than Man Utd this year, but noone has won less than Bolton, but a trip to the Reebok could be a difficult ask for Manchester United who look to continue their unbeaten Premiership streak of 10 games.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder

  • It's the 109th league game between these two Northern rivals, and Gary Megson could see this as a grand opportunity to put his reputation on the line and pick up a huge three points against the Premiership's second placed club.



    Nicolas Anelka is fit again, whilst El-Hadj Diouf returns from suspension. Wayne Rooney is still missing whilst Nemanja Vidic is unlikely to play - Wes Brown could fill in for the Serbian.



    Man Utd are undefeated in nine; having won eight and drawn one in all competitions, since the 0-2 home defeat by Coventry in the third round of the Carling Cup on 26 September; their only loss in 15 outings.



    Bolton have drawn five of their last seven Premier League fixtures.



    Megson: we're improving

    "In my view, we are improving. We made a case for winning every game played whilst I've been here.

    "But we haven't won so we've got to find a way of turning draws into wins, regardless of the opposition.



    "We've also been doing a lot of work during the international break in terms of watching players."



    Squads

    Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, McCann, Michalik, A O'Brien, Meite, Gardner, Cid, Campo, Guthrie, Nolan, Speed, Alonso, Diouf, Davies, Anelka, Al Habsi, Samuel, Teymourian, Braaten, Giannakopoulos.



    Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evans, Evra, Simpson, Ronaldo, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Eagles, Carrick, Giggs, Nani, Saha, Tevez.

    Bolton 1-1 Man Utd



    A fantastic point for Bolton could be on the cards as Man Utd look to make ground on leaders Arsenal. However, Bolton will be desperate to help Megson pick up a valuable point, and Bolton will need to nullify the threat of Utd's frontline.



    Score: 1-1 Draw

    Goalscorer: Cristiano Ronaldo
