Tale Of The Game
United return to the Premier League after beating Arsenal in the FA Cup and the 2-1 Champions League victory over Marseille.

This is a possible dress rehearsal for the FA Cup final, after Bolton won 3-2 at Birmingham in the quarter-finals.

The pair have been kept apart in the semi-final draw, with United facing Manchester City and Bolton against Stoke.

After successive defeats away from home they return to the safety of Old Trafford where they have taken 40 of their 60 points.

And United will take heart from their Premier League record against Bolton.

In 21 meetings in the competition, United have won 14, drawn five and lost just two.

Bolton last beat United in November 2007, with a 1-0 win at the Reebok Stadium. Since then United have won five and drawn one.

At Old Trafford, United are unbeaten against Bolton since September 2002, their only home defeat in 10 previous clashes.

Bolton are unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions, winning five.

But away from home Bolton have won only 11 of their 40 points, winning only two of 14 games on the road.

United are set to be without Nemanja Vidic, with a calf problem.

And they are still without Anders Lindegaard, Nani, Anderson, Michael Owen, Ji-Sung Park, Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand.

Bolton, meanwhile, miss Sean Davis, Jlloyd Samuel, Sam Ricketts and Zat Knight.

Stat of the game: If United lose it will be the first time they have suffered defeat in three consecutive Premier League games since May 2001.
