Man City visits Bolton

Mark Hughes' Man City travels to the Reebook to face Bolton. It has been tough start for the Wanderers and with Harry pulling off miracles in north-London, Gary Megson finds his squad now at the bottom of the table.

Bolton has lost its last two matches and know they must start to accumulate points or the future will involve the Championship League. However in their defense, their matches are typically close and they simply are finding themselves on the wrong end of the scoreline.

Both clubs have players return from the sin-bin, Gavin McCann for Bolton and Pablo Zabaleta for Man City. Bolton is reporting itself as fully-fit although Mark Hughes will be missing Daniel Sturridge and is questionable. With a short week that includes an important UEFA Cup match against Steve McClaren's Twente Enschede on Thursday, City is likely to give the Brazilian striker added-rest and call upon him only if needed late in the match.

I will report on the match as it concludes.
