Have a loss-proof bet on an Arsenal victory
It was a run of defeats at the Reebok Stadium that earned Arsenal their reputation for being vulnerable away to teams that apply a lot of physical pressure, however the Gunners' record against Bolton has improved considerably since Sam Allardyce's departure as Trotters manager in 2007.
So much so in fact that the Premier League title outsiders have won on each of the last eight occasions that they have faced their one time bogey club, a streak that includes four visits to the ground that used to give them nightmares.
Arsene Wenger's side are the best travellers in the division with victories in half of their 16 away games and are unbeaten in the league since Christmas, so there is plenty of evidence to suggest that they should once again get the better of Bolton at tempting odds of [1.78].

Even though Arsenal have triumphed in every encounter between the two over the last four years, they have rarely humiliated Wanderers, winning both halves only twice and being required to fight from behind in three of their last six meetings, twice by a margin of two goals.
For that reason, a risk-free wager on the guests recovering a deficit to win is well worth considering, as are flutters on it being level at half-time with the Gunners eventually taking the points at [5.3] and over 3.5 goals at [2.78], as the latter has been a feature in four of the last six Bolton versus Arsenal ties.
