Recent respective form guides
Bolton Wanderers's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Trotters have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Man. Utd. however, is much more impressive, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. Just 5 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.
Bolton Wdrs. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 23 points from their 21 games played so far, Man. Utd. sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 44 points from their 20 games.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the The Trotters at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Red Devils come away with an easy victory. Away win
