BOLTON WANDERERS - MANCHESTER UNITED (OFFICIAL POST)

Owen Coyle has already outwitted Sir Alex Ferguson once this season, but the odds are heavily stacked against the Bolton manager repeating the trick on Saturday.

Coyle was in charge of Burnley when the newly-promoted club humbled the champions in only the second game of the season, a result that led to many experts writing off Manchester United's title credentials there and then.

Fast forward seven months and United head to the Reebok Stadium on a run of four successive victories, with a record 19th league title within their grasp.

Wayne Rooney continues to bulldoze all before him, hitting a remarkable 17 goals in his last 13 appearances. Ominously for Bolton, the England striker has hit six goals in his last four games against them, including a hat-trick on his last visit to the Reebok.

While United pursue a fourth consecutive title, Bolton look to have secured their Premier League status for another year, with a run of three wins in their last five games lifting them clear of the drop zone.

Coyle's immediate ambition will be to improve his side's woeful record against Saturday's opponents - Bolton have lost nine of their last 10 meetings with Ferguson's men.
