Recent respective form guides

Bolton Wanderers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The Reds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.

Bolton Wdrs. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 14 points from their 12 games played so far, Liverpool sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 29 points from their 12 games.
