Eriksson: Bolton are desperate to win

"Bolton will do everything to win the game because they really need points desperately.

"It will be a battle, in a fair way of course. They play aggressively. They will not let us play - no time or space - but that is normal.

"They are very difficult to win, these games. I don't expect any open football, unfortunately."
