Bolton Wanderers prepare to entertain Sunderland at Reebok Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Trotters are clearly on top, having won 35 and lost only 15 of the 69 games.

Recent respective form guides
Bolton Wanderers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Trotters have scored 6, a worringly large 18 have been leaked at the other end.
Sunderland's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Bolton Wanderers are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 6 points from their 8 games thus far.
Sunderland are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 6 points from 8 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Bolton Wanderers at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Trotters will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
