Bolton are a though nut to crack, particularly at home and Man Utd experienced that already, as they needed a last minute equalizer to finish 2-2 at the Reebok Stadium. Our Bolton v Chelsea predicition indicates that the visitors will have some serious difficulties too.

They still have the same way to try to score goals. Kevin Davies is very good. He is strong and he loves to battle and when he is on his day he can do everything.”
