Defender Gretar Steinsson sits out the game through suspension after his dismissal against Everton. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has denied claims Wayne Rooney is struggling with a knee problem. Owen Hargreaves is continuing his recovery from major knee surgery but is not yet ready for a first-team return. Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Knight, Ricketts, Cahill, Robinson, Muamba, Lee, Gardner, M Davies, Taylor, Wilshere, Cohen, K Davies, Elmander, Klasnic, Weiss, Al Habsi, Samuel, A O'Brien, Riga.

Ominously for Bolton, the England striker has hit six goals in his last four games against them, including a hat-trick on his last visit to the Reebok. - While United pursue a fourth consecutive title, Bolton look to have secured their Premier League status for another year, with a run of three wins in their last five games lifting them clear of the drop zone. - Coyle's immediate ambition will be to improve his side's woeful record against Saturday's opponents - Bolton have lost nine of their last 10 meetings with Ferguson's men. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ‧ Wayne Rooney has scored six goals in his last four league matches against Bolton, including a hat-trick in his last visit to the Reebok Stadium (a 4-0 victory in October 2006). ‧ Man Utd have won nine of the last 10 meetings against Bolton, and lost only one of their 10 Premier League games at Wanderers. Bolton ‧ Bolton are the only team in the Premier League who have not taken a single point off a team from the 'Big Four' this season. ‧ Wanderers have kept four consecutive home clean sheets, having not kept any in their previous 12 league games at the Reebok. ‧ They have scored the joint-highest number of goals from set-pieces in the Premier League this season (21).

MOST RECENT MEETING Man Utd 2-1 Bolton (17 October 2009) Man Utd scorers: Knight 5 (o.g.), Valencia 33 Bolton scorer: Taylor 75 M.E.N Prediction: Bolton 1-3 United - The Reds will prove too strong Key opponent: Gary Cahill - The highly-rated defender could be back to shore up the Bolton defence Skysports.com prediction: Bolton 1-3 United One to Watch: Kevin Davies Lawro's predictions Bolton 1-2 United This is a derby of sorts. Bolton are trying to play more attractive football with Owen Coyle in charge and it's a boost for them to have Gary Cahill coming back too. But every obstacle you put in front of this Manchester United side they just seem to overcome and I can see them taking the points from this one. the fixtures haven't fallen kindly for United, with them playing at Saturday teatime before a Champions League away game on Tuesday, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side will deal with it. http://tinyurl.com/yeu4avy http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8584765.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3151428,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8586828.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.55.31
