Andy's Monday tips - Chelsea to win again
Chelsea appear to have finally weathered the storm and look something like the side they were at the start of the campaign.
Maybe they just went through a bad patch where they were low on energy levels and confidence, or maybe the returns of Michael Essien and Frank Lampard have made the difference to their midfield and given the whole squad a real boost.
I've spoken before about how Chelsea's squad is a little thin on the ground this year and replacing players like those two is easier said than done.
Bolton started the season extremely well and their strike partnership of Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander is the best they've had in a long time, but it's not easy to keep winning matches in a league as competitive as this and they've gone off the boil a bit in recent weeks.
Owen Coyle's boys will give Chelsea a good game and there will be a few tasty tackles going in here and we may even see a few cards being brandished.
But with Chelsea on the up and Bolton running out of steam a little just now, I think the reigning champions will get another three points here with that man Lampard chipping in with a vital goal.
