History of the Bolton Wanderers v Aston Villa fixture

Aston Villa face a trip to Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Villans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 40 and win only 18 of the 75 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premiership match.
