11 april 2009: Chelsea – Bolton
MATCH: CHELSEA – BOLTON
CHELSEA
Great boost of confidence under Hiddink’s management: 4 wins in the last 5 games and still unbeaten at home.
With the win Chelsea went level on points with Liverpool – although the Reds extended the gap to three again with a last-gasp winner at Fulham later on Saturday – and a point behind leaders Manchester United. The home side played well in the first half, but Chelsea looked the more dangerous in the final third.

BOLTON
Bolton heaped more misery on second-bottom Middlesbrough with a 4-1 Premier League win at the Reebok Stadium.
The team obtained a great result on sunday. They have played that game against Middlesboro with the knowledge if they put in a good performance and get a good win this was a really defining sunday. They are eight points above the relegation zone now.
“We’ve conceded really poor goals today. We looked a threat going forward and created quite a few chances but were poor at the other end.” Megson says.

M Davies – Knee Injury (1 week)

VERDICT
Bolton have very few probabilites to win this match, they managed to keep the clean sheets only 1 time in the last away games and Chelsea seem in a great form this days.
Considering that Chelsea can also take advantage of the home factor… I see no escape for Bolton, and also an over 2,5
