Man. City prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, winning 55.56% of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at City of Manchester Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premiership match.
