Bolton Wdrs. prepare to entertain Middlesbrough at Reebok Stadium on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Trotters are clearly on top, having won 33 and lost only 6 of the 52 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Reebok Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
