Bolton vs Manchester United : Premier League Preview - 17th January 2009

4 of the big 5 (yes, I include Villa) compete in todays's matches - all with potentially tricky games ahead.

Manchester Unted have been hit hard by injuries in their run up to an away day at Bolton. Ferdinand, Evra, Evans, Tevez and Rooney may all miss out - giving the World Champions problems at the back. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gary Neville shoved into a central-defensive role along side Vidic - Rafael and O'Shea as full backs. Midfield may have to become a creative 5-piece with Ronaldo and Park/Nani marshalling the flanks and mastermind Scholes, born again central midfielder Giggs and the ever impressive Michael Carrick as the midfield 3. Berbatov could at last get a chance to lead the line on his own which, with support from the likes of the Player of The Year, could be deadly.
Bolton are one of the worst sides in the League form-wise and lost the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this season. New man Ariza Makulaka may look to turn these fortunes around by announcing himself infront of his home fans against the best team on Earth.
The signs for Bolton are ominous. The champions have conceded none in nine in the League. One of Chelsea's phenomenal record. Bolton have lost their last 3 League games whilst Manchester United are the form team in the League with 16 points in 6.
