Bolton Wdrs. face a trip to Sunderland at The Stadium of Light on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Trotters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 44 and win only 12 of the 69 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2009, the The Black Cats carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a F.A. Cup match.
