Manchester United are back at the top of the Premiership and are in top form with 6 consecutive wins in all competitions. Wayne Rooney continues his amazing form and has averaged a goal per game over the past 25 starts. Many United players have come out and said that they believe they can win all of their remaining games to ensure their 4th consecutive title. If any team is capable of this feat, it is United. Alex Ferguson is no stranger to late-season title races. They must continue their good form as Chelsea and Arsenal are 1 and 2 points behind them, respectively. Coming to
Reebok Stadium they will face a tough challenge from a team who has recently improved in form.
The Trotters have improved ever since
Owen Coyle took the reigns from Gary Megson and are undefeated at home in 2010. Bolton have only conceded one goal in that time and Owen Coyle will be eager to please the fans by shutting down a team with the quality of Manchester United. Expect him to adopt a defensive approach as they have been solid lately. The last time United travelled to Reebok they managed a win, albeit with a 90' goal by Dimitar Berbetov to make the score 1-0. Bolton are a physical team and will not be pushed around by the league leaders.
Though Bolton has not gotten anything from a match with United since 2007, Owen Coyle may prove a tough nut for Sir Alex to crack. The manager has breathed new life into the squad so expect them to give an admirable defensive effort. 0-1 and 0-2 are likely results here.
