Reading face a trip to Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Royals will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 8 and win only 3 of the 13 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Premiership match.

Bolton Wdrs. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 3 games have yielded only 0 points. Reading's 4 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
