Bolton Wanderers v Stoke City Live

Bolton play Stoke City at the start of the 2008-09 Premiership this Saturday at the Reebok Stadium.

The Trotters survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season and fans will hope to avoid a similar fate this time around. Manager Gary Megson is keen to test his new signings like Johan Elmander and see if he can fit the boots vacated by Nicolas Anelka when he moved to Chelsea.

Stoke City have been tipped to go back straight down, but experts feel that the Potters have a chance should they display tight defensive techniques and take their chances on counterattacks.
