Kickoff
The game is underway at the Reebok Stadium, If United win they go top of the Premier League for the first time this season. A win for Bolton would see them move further from the bottom three.
Awaiting Kickoff
Sir Alex has named what is probably his strongest fit Manchester United side, he'll want too avoid a defeat at the Reebok after they slipped up here last season.
Awaiting Kickoff
Some interesting things going on in the Bolton starting XI. New boy Makukula is making his debut after signing from Benfica and 21-year-old Chris Basham starts after making his debut at Arsenal last week.
Awaiting Kickoff
Man Utd: Van der Sar, Neville, Vidic, Evans, O'Shea, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Ronaldo, Tevez, Berbatov SUBS: Kuszczak, Giggs, Park, Nani, Scholes, Welbeck, Chester
