Stoke City travel to take on Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 39 games played, Potters have recorded 8 wins, and Bolton Wdrs. have come away with 19 victories.
The last time the two teams met at Bolton Wdrs. was more than a decade ago, in September 1996, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division One match.
