History of the Manchester City v Bolton Wanderers fixture

Man City prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 30 and lost only 12 of the 52 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at City of Manchester Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2005, with Bolton Wdrs. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Sky Blues in a Premiership match.
