Bolton Wdrs. face a trip to Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 12 of the 52 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2005, with Bolton Wdrs. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Sky Blues in a Premiership match.
