At the start of this round of fixtures, the Whites sit in 6th place in the table, three points behind this weekend’s opponent, Manchester City. The Blue sit 4th in the table on 26 points. They have not lost in six matches and are coming off a big mid-week win against Salzburg in the Europa League. They will be brimming with confidence. Manager Roberto Mancini is under fire, however, having only delivered two wins in the Premier League in November. Their two home fixtures last month both delivered 0-0 draws. City will be hungry for a win with a big margin.
One more note about the team wearing sky blue: The City of Manchester Stadium has been a fortress this season. City have lost just once there and allowed only 5 balls into the back of the net. Only Chelsea have been scored on fewer times at home this season.
Bolton haven’t lost in their last five and have scored 10 in their last three games but are facing an uphill battle. Stuart Holden, who the Whites very sorely missed in the midfield against Blackpool, is a doubt for the match. Holden strained his thigh in the warm-up before the Blackpool fixture and was a late scratch. Expect Mark Davies in the midfield again.
With nothing to do with this game but news has emerged this week that Bolton will likely be without Lee Chung-Yong for almost all of January as he will be called up by South Korea for the Asian Cup. It looks like BWFC will dive into the transfer market. So far, they’ve been linked with three names: Ivan Rakitic of Schalke, Curtis Davies of Aston Villa but on loan to Leicester City, and, in what is a bit of a reach, Joel Lindpere of Red Bull New York. Davies is lined up as a cheap replacement for Gary Cahill as it looks like the bids are just pouring in for our center back.
Finally, a hearty congratulations to Owen Coyle and Johan Elmander for winning the manager and player of the month awards, respectively.

Sairax | December 3rd, 2010 at 8:52 pm I finally stop by here after a really long time and what do I see? Owen Coyle with Preki! lol as a TFC fan that kinda threw me off.
Anyhoo, I know you guys had our boy Jack Wilshere on loan last season. May I suggest you all take Jay Emmanuel-Thomas in January? He’s a beast and he can score goals. The guy needs game time and Bolton might be good for him.
Good luck v ManCity, hope you beat them!
Martin | December 4th, 2010 at 8:00 am I am not ashamed to admit that I have adopted you guys as my second team this year — between taking Wilshere on loan this year, Kevin Davies’s Twitter account, and putting on some reliably entertaining matches, I try to catch you guys every week unless you’re playing at the same time as Arsenal.
Anyway, I would be rooting for you guys even if you weren’t playing against Team Evil, but doubly so this week, I guess. Good luck.
Oh, and I had season tickets to the Red Bulls last season, and I have to say, Lindpere was one of the best players in the entire league. He’s not super talented or flashy, so he wouldn’t set the world on fire, but I do think he’s a guy capable of putting in some solid performances at this level. I doubt he’d make a real impact, but if you needed a guy to provide some depth and injury cover for a few months, you could do a lot worse.
