Manchester United can spread a little anxiety. A win for Sir Alex Ferguson's side over Bolton would leave Manchester City leading the table purely on goal difference before they go to Wigan on Monday. Even so, that outcome against Bolton is far from sure. In 10 league matches at home United have been beaten twice and held to a draw once. Whether these visitors in particular can unsettle United is a matter of debate, but at least Owen Coyle's team took heart from overcoming Everton at Goodison. Whatever the sorrows at the Reebok, Bolton have a creditable record of four away wins in the Premier League this season. Kevin McCarra
