Bolton Wdrs. face a trip to Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2010, with Bolton Wdrs. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Potters in a Premier League match.
