Arsenal v Bolton Wanderers - Follow LIVE text commentary

Arsenal v Bolton Wanderers Follow every kick as Arsenal take on Bolton Wanderers at in the Premier League on 06-Jan-2010, kick off time 19:45 Arsenal v Bolton Wanderers Live Arsenal can move to within one point of the Premier League summit if they are able to see off managerless Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday evening. The Gunners can overtake Manchester United with a win and heap more pressure on a stuttering Chelsea side. Arsene Wenger's men have taken 13 points from a possible 15 in their last five league games and are confounding the critics who suggested that they would be unable to mount a title challenge this season. Wenger was quick to get one over on some sections of the media following the 4-1 win at Portsmouth, saying: "I'm not surprised at what we've done since Chelsea, when we lost 3-0. "I think people at that time didn't believe what I said. It's good. It shows that not only I can be wrong, but you can all be wrong, too." Arsenal's excellent form has come despite a number of injuries to key players, with Robin van Persie likely to miss the rest of the season due to ankle ligament damage. Skipper Cesc Fabregas is also unlikely to feature due to a hamstring strain. Bolton travel to the capital buoyed by a 4-0 win over Lincoln City in the FA Cup third round, but still under a cloud following the sacking of manager Gary Megson. In the Premier League the Trotters currently lie down in 18th place, although they are unbeaten in their last four league outings, having drawn three and won 3-1 at home to fellow strugglers West Ham United. Midfielder Sean Davis, whose season has been ended by a serious knee injury, is the only major absentee for the visitors. Last season a late Nicklas Bendtner goal gave Arsenal a 1-0 success on home turf, with the Dane having also been on target in the 3-1 win at the Reebok Stadium earlier on in the campaign.
