Manchester City face a test on Sunday in the Premier League as they take their star studded squad to the Reebok Stadium to take on a resurgent Bolton.
Bolton started their Premier League campaign with an excellent 4-0 away win over newly promoted QPR last weekend, signalling Owen Coyle’s intention to continue the improvement of his side. Goals from Ivan Klasnic, Fabrice Muamba, an own goal and a Gary Cahill wonder strike gave the visitors the three points, and sent them to the top of the league. Martin Petrov was one of the victims of the Manchester City money men, and will be keen to prove a point against his old club come Sunday. Bwin have Bolton at odds of 4.75 to get a win.
Manchester City also beat a newly promoted side 4-0 in their opening game, as they overpowered Swansea at Eastlands on Monday night. Second half goals from Edin Dzeko, David Silva and a brace from super sub Sergio Aguero capped an impressive night for Roberto Mancini’s side, as they look to make an assault for the Premier League title. Carlos Tevez is still at the club but on the sidelines after requesting to leave, as Mancini has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal in attack. Bwin give City the favourite tags at odds of 1.75 to win.
