History of the Bolton Wanderers v Sunderland fixture

Bolton Wdrs. prepare to entertain Sunderland at Reebok Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Trotters are clearly on top, having won 35 and lost only 13 of the 67 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Reebok Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premier League match.
