* No team has had more than nine shots on target in a single Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford since 2003.
* United have dropped just two points at home all season – versus West Brom in a 2-2 draw.
* Bolton have taken just one point from their last seven away games, and have won just twice on the road all season.
* United currently have 11 players out injured: Lindegaard, Rafael, O’Shea, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Hargreaves, Anderson, Fletcher, Park and Owen. However, Evans, Owen and Park could feature against Bolton.
* Bolton have scored six goals in their last two matches, beating Aston Villa 3-2 at home in the league and most recently a 3-2 win at Birmingham in the FA Cup.
* Ferguson will start his five-match touchline ban when Bolton visit, but United have only lost two of the 10 matches he has missed as a result of a ban. Those were 3-1 against Fulham in 2003 and 2-1 against West Ham in 2007.
* There have been 29 goals in the last 10 Premier League meetings between the two sides.
* Mexican striker Javier Hernandez has scored 10 goals from just 14 shots on target in the Premier League so far this season.
* Wanderers have only won one of their last 16 Premier League matches against United, with that match being a narrow 1-0 victory courtesy of a first-half Nicolas Anelka goal at the Reebok Stadium on November 24, 2007. United are currently seven matches unbeaten against Bolton since then.
* Bolton have only lost one of their last five Premier League matches.
LAST MEETING
September 26, 2010: Bolton 2-2 Manchester United
Back in September, Michael Owen was the saviour for United as he scored a 73rd minute equaliser after a Nani screamer was sandwiched between goals from Zat Knight and Martin Petrov.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Manchester United: Van der Sar; Fabio, Brown, Smalling, Evra; Valencia, Gibson, Carrick, Nani; Rooney, Hernandez.
Bolton Wanderers: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Wheater, Cahill, Robinson; Lee, Holden, Muamba, Petrov; Sturridge, Elmander.
Prediction
This match generally has plenty of goals and with the form the United attack and defence are in, there is absolutely no reason why this match will be any different.
Bolton themselves have been hitting the back of the net recently and I can definitely see them scoring against the makeshift United back four, but I fully expect the hosts to have too much for the Trotters at Old Trafford with the partnership of Rooney and Hernandez looking devastating at the moment.
