Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson: "The win on Tuesday has sent us on our way. "It has been a tough start to the season with a run of away games at Portsmouth, Liverpool and Chelsea. "But we have ended up with exactly the same number of points from those games as we got last season. "It is early season of course. Nothing emphatic happens at this stage but I expect our form to pick up now." Bolton boss Gary Megson: "Everybody who is involved in football looks forward to playing at Old Trafford and I think that is the magic of Manchester United. "Most of our players have played there before so it won't affect them, but what we have to do is cope with a really talented team. "Nobody is expected to come away from Old Trafford with anything, but we've got to give it our very best." BIG-MATCH FACTS Manchester United may have beaten Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup on Tuesday night, but defeat here and there is a scenario that could see them fall to one off the foot of the Premier League table. United are yet to win or lose a home league game this term, but they've only played one (1-1 v Newcastle); Bolton are without a point away from home. Sir Alex Ferguson's side are on five points from four games, the same mark as last season; Bolton sit adjacent to them, one point inferior, but four points from five is one point better off than at this same stage last term. The Red Devils have scored one goal in each of their four league outings, and none in the second-half of any game; the Trotters are averaging a goal a game. Bolton were the only club not to be shown a red card in the top league last season; United have been shown more cards than any other club in the Premier League so far this time around (one red, 15 yellow). Manchester United are chasing a sixth successive home win over Bolton; the Trotters have not taken maximum points away from the Theatre of Dreams since completing a second successive victory there with a 0-1 triumph on 11 September 2002 when Kevin Nolan got the winner. Bolton have dropped more points (41) and conceded more goals (42) to Manchester United than to any other club in the Premier League. Distance between the clubs: 20 miles (31 kilometres) CLUB FORM MANCHESTER UNITED Club stats 15th 5 points Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 7th Lowest could fall: 19th 2008-09 Premier League performance 1. Chasing only their second league win of the season. 2. Sitting five places lower than after their first four games last season, despite also only having five points. 3. On the longest current sequence of 28 Premier League matches since they failed to score; the 1-0 defeat away to Bolton on 24 November 2007 being the most recent. 4. Also on the longest current run in the highest league of 82 matches since a loss by more than a single goal; 3-0, away to Chelsea. 5. Not registered a no score draw in 41 top-flight games. Again this is the longest current such sequence; the goalless stalemate, home to Reading on the opening day of last season, 12 August 2007, being the most recent. 6. Need to score three times to become the first club to total 50 Premier League goals in 2008. 7. Won 17 of the last 19 home league games, and lost one of 20. 8. Conceded just five goals in 10 Premier League matches at Old Trafford, keeping six clean sheets into the bargain. 9. The only time points have been dropped in 15 North-West derbies at Old Trafford in just under three years was the 1-2 loss to Manchester City on 10 February 2008. Fixtures 10. Resuming their Champions League campaign in Denmark, against Aab Aalborg on Tuesday night. BOLTON WANDERERS Club stats 16th 4 points Highest achievable after Saturday's matches: 8th Lowest could fall: 19th 2008-09 Premier League performance 1. No win in five in all competitions. 2. Gained one point from a last possible 12; 0-0, home to West Brom on 30 August. 3. Picked up one win in their last six Premier League matches; 3-1, home to Stoke on 16 August. 4. Gained one win from their first five league matches this season; started last season with one victory from the first 13. 5. Need to score one more goal to total 400 all-time in the Premier League. 6. Just one goal shy of conceding 500 in Premier League history. 7. In danger of losing three league games in a row for the first time since five successive losses between 9 February and 19 March, which culminated in a 0-2 defeat at Old Trafford. 8. Lost six of the last nine away league games, including the last two. Their only win in that sequence was 0-1 against Middlesbrough at the Riverside on 19 April 2008. 9. Not scored in three North-West Premier League derbies. 10. Lost their last six away league games to fellow North-West clubs.
