Barclays Premier League – Sunday 2 October 1.30 pm KO
Bolton Pre-Match Report
Bolton host Chelsea this weekend looking to halt a miserable run of form which has seen them suffer five consecutive defeats since their opening day win against QPR and they currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Owen Coyle has a number of selection issues with the casualty list compounded this week when it was announced Stuart Holden faces six weeks out with a knee problem. To add to his woes, Gael Kakuta is ineligible, David Wheater and Ivan Klasnic are suspended whilst Tyrone Mears, Lee Young-Pyo, Marcus Alonso and Sam Ricketts remain long-term absentees.
Predicted Team: Jaaskelainen, Boyata, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Muamba, Petrov, Davies, Tuncay.
Chelsea Pre-Match Report
Chelsea enter the match off the back of a three-match unbeaten run since they lost 3-1 to Manchester United. History also points heavily in favour of the away side, with the Blues unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games against Bolton, winning the last six in a row.
Fernando Torres is suspended following his sending off against Swansea last weekend whilst Frank Lampard should keep his place in midfield. Michael Essien remains on the injury list however following knee surgery.
Predicted Team: Cech, Bosingwa, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Mikel, Mata, Drogba, Anelka.
