Bolton Wanderers Vs UNITED – Match Preview

United will make it four wins out four if they can get a win away at the Reebok stadium. Bolton’s early season form in comparison has not been good, though this can also be attributed to having to face Manchester City and Liverpool as two of their first three games.

The Reds will go into the game without Nemanja Vidic, Danny Welbeck, Rafael and Darron Gibson. All will be missing with injuries. Rio Ferdinand however, is a good bet to make the starting lineup after missing out on the last two games.

Bolton meanwhile will have to make do without Chung Yong Lee, but a surprise return for Stuart Holden, after being absent for so long, could be on the cards. Owen Coyle will also have the option to call on David Ngog and Gael Kakuta’s services should he wish.

Player to watch: Gary Cahill was the subject of much speculation in the summer for transfers to Tottenham, Arsenal, Spurs, Man City. In the end he has stayed put, and though his contractual situation suggests he will likely be off in the next 12 months if not sooner, Owen Coyle will be delighted to be able to call upon the English centre half’s quality for the next six months at least.

When the two sides last met, United emerged victorious as Dimitar Berbatov scored a late winner at Old Trafford for 10 man United.

With former United academy graduate Chris Eagles also likely to play Vs United, the winger will be hoping to write his own script.

Possible lineup: De Gea, Smalling, Ferdinand, Jones/Evans, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Chicharito

The referee for the game is Andre Marriner.
