Quotes via The Bolton News.

“They (Burton) have a very good record since Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink took over, there’s no doubt about that. I think it’s going to be a tough game and a difficult game for us, but also a difficult game for them.

“If we perform to our levels and standards and limit mistakes and learn from the performances and results we’ve had so far this season, I’m more than confident, especially at home that we’re more than capable of beating any team in this division.

“But we have to be at it and we have to perform to our levels.”

I'm expecting a close game between these sides. 

Bolton have started strong at home, but Burton will provide a difficult test. 

Prediction: Wanderers to maintain their unbeaten home record this season and Burton to stay unbeaten in this fixture. Final score 1-1.
