Recent respective form guides

Bolton Wanderers's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Trotters have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Man. City's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Sky Blues have hit 4 goals, 7 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Bolton Wdrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 25 points from their 30 games thus far. Man. City's 48 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 8th position.
