Recent respective form guides
Bolton Wanderers's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Trotters have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

Bolton Wdrs. see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 27 points from their 22 games played so far, Arsenal sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 48 points from their 22 games.
