Expect goals when Bolton host Manchester United
After the blood and thunder of last weekend's Liverpool game, Manchester United are thrust straight back into a local rivalry when they travel to Bolton on Sunday.
With Chelsea threatening to run away with the title another win is vital for the Reds who are available to back at [1.52] on Betfair to pick up three points.
Manchester United will kick off on Sunday knowing just what they have to do as the league leaders take on Manchester City in the early Saturday fixture. That will put Fergie and co in the strange position of cheering on Mancini's men but that isn't a hopeless proposition - City did the double over Chelsea last season.
Wins for City and United would leave the Reds just a point off the top of the table, and if that's an eventuality you see happening then now is the time for you to plunge on another title win at Old Trafford at [3.8]. That price won't hang around for long if they close the gap on Chelsea.
Bolton are finding their feet under Owen Coyle but are rapidly shedding the boring and attritional tags of years gone by. They should have a go at United and the feeling is this game could be more open that most recent editions - back over 2.5 goals at [1.86].
And while you're at it - back both teams to score at [2.0]. Dimitar Berbatov is in rampant form up front but the back four has been far tighter than they've shown recently. It may be an early kick-off, but prepare yourself for a back-and-forth, high-energy game with goals at both ends!
