Manchester United have the chance to go back on level points with league leaders Manchester City on Saturday as they host relegation-threatened Bolton Wanderers in our live text-coverage match with me, Karl Matchett, as your regular commentator.

With Bolton defender Gary Cahill not having yet agreed terms for a move to Chelsea, he is likely to continue in the Trotters starting 11, as they seek to escape the bottom three of the league.

United will be looking to continue some fine home form this season—they have won seven out of 10 games—but as their last two Premier League matches have ended in defeat, three points here are a must with City not in action until two days later.
