Wigan's surprise victory over Liverpool on Monday was not only cursed at Anfield. The result did Bolton little favour, especially as they followed it with a 4-0 hammering at Sunderland. These sides are now separated by one point at the lower end of the table and while it is the hosts who maintain the advantage, they head into this encounter in fearful mood. Bolton have lost three of their past six matches and are struggling to score goals. That makes relegation a genuine concern for the manager, Owen Coyle. Sachin Nakrani
