On-loan Zenit St Petersburg defender Sebastien Puygrenier is in the squad after getting international clearance and new man Ariza Makukula may play. Rooney scored what turned out to be the winner against Wigan but hobbled off minutes later with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for at least three weeks.

(Current table toppers Liverpool do not play Everton until Monday.) ＊ United are pursuing a fifth straight Premier League win; Bolton are attempting to avoid fourth consecutive league loss. ＊ The Red Devils are aiming to gain their 175th Premier League victory on the road, to spoil Gary Megson's 50th top-flight match in charge of the Trotters. ＊ The Old Trafford club lead the Premier League's "Last Six Current Form" table with 16 points; Bolton are bottom but one (three points). ＊ A clean sheet will see Manchester United equalling Chelsea's top-flight record of 10 consecutive shut-outs. ＊ Bolton have not scored in three games, or 357 minutes (five hours 57 minutes) of Premier League football, since Ricardo Gardner got their second in the 2-1 home win over Portsmouth on 20 December. ＊ Manchester United have won seven of their last eight Premier League meetings with Bolton, but the Trotters gained their first home win over the Red Devils in nine attempts last season. ＊ Distance between the clubs: 18 miles (28 kilometres) CLUB FORM 2nd 44 points Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 1st Lowest could fall: 3rd 1. Lost just one of 17 in all competitions. 2. Won the last four Premier League matches, against Stoke (a), Middlesbrough (h), Chelsea (h) and Wigan (h). 3. Unbeaten in nine league games; won seven and drawn two since losing 2-1 away to Arsenal on 8 November - their only loss in 17 top-flight outings. 4. Boast the tightest defence in the Premier League. 5. One defeat short of 150 in league football under Sir Alex Ferguson. 6. One point down on last term and six points down on the previous season (both title-winning campaigns), but on the same 44 points mark after 20 games as in 2005-06, when they only went on to finish runners-up. 7. Not conceded in nine games, or 852 minutes (14 hours 12 minutes) of Premier League football since Samir Nasri scored Arsenal's second in the Gunners' odd goal in three home victory on 8 November. 8. One clean sheet shy of equalling Chelsea's top-flight record run of 10, set from 12 December 2004 and broken by Norwich on 5 March 2005. KEY PLAYER NOTES ＊ The newly crowned Fifa World Player of the Year, Cristiano RONALDO has scored six goals in six Premier League appearances against Bolton. ＊ Edwin VAN DER SAR is leading the race for the Barclays Golden Glove with 13 clean sheets. ＊ If selected:- - Ryan GIGGS will be making his 550th Premier League appearance - all for Manchester United. - Rio FERDINAND will be making his 200th Premier League appearance in United colours. HEAD TO HEAD ＊ Manchester United are looking to do the double over Bolton for the fifth time in the Premier League. ＊ Bolton have conceded more Premier League goals to Manchester United than to any other club (44). ＊ United have also inflicted on Bolton their biggest home defeat in the Premier League; 0-6 on 25 February 1996.

They have players missing, but United have match-winners like Ryan Giggs to come back into the team. Bolton will be their usual competitive, aggressive self and will not be easy to play against. http://tinyurl.com/844r9k (M.E.N) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7815605.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3004426,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7820709.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.170.107.123
