Match day preview.

Bolton arrive at Eastlands later on today, fresh off a succesful start in their UEFA Cup campaign against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Thursday night.
Big Sam has already mentioned he is concered with the fact there may not be much left in the tank after Thursdays game, and he has been known to tinker with his team in the past, so maybe there will be a few changes made by Bolton today.
Much has been made of Bolton's 'style' of play with Stuart Pearce recently defending them. No suprise that we can expect plenty of long and cross-field balls to 'big' Kevin Davies with the likes of Nolan, Stelios and Speed feeding off the scraps (or is the correct term 'second ball'?) with Jay-Jay Okocha developing a cricked neck.
A win today will take us back to second after Chelsea defeated Charlton yesterday and I see no reason for us not to take all three points.
We will have an unchanged team from the derby, and I think Reyna and Barton (who have been outstanding this season) will be key figures today. Dunne and Distin will also resume their partnership at the back and the onus will be on them to shut down the Bolton attacks early on.
I expect it to be scrappy and non-too pretty at times but I'll take City to run out 2-1 winners.
