Tale of the game

Dimitar Berbatov's hat-trick against Liverpool, which has earned him comparisons with everyone from Eric Cantona to Denis Law, has had another, more oblique consequence.

For the first time in a good while, nobody is talking about Wayne Rooney in the run-up to a United game. It is when left to get on with his job that Rooney tends to excel, and if Berbatov can reproduce the form which has taken him to the top of the scoring charts, Bolton, who lost to Burnley in midweek, could be in for a long afternoon.

Kevin Davies and Jussi Jaaskelainen return to the Bolton team after missing the Burnley game in midweek. Gary Cahill serves the final game of his three-match suspension; Andy O'Brien is still out with an ankle injury, so Sam Ricketts is likely to step in to deputise.

Rio Ferdinand should return to the United team after coming through the Carling Cup against Scunthorpe on Wednesday. Jonny Evans will make way. Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia and Owen Hargreaves are all long-term absentees.

Last season: Manchester United 2 Bolton 1; Bolton 0 Manchester United 4.

Stat of the game: Dimitar Berbatov has been offside 10 times this season, more than any other player.

Abeg we just gst be ruthless. SAF shdnt bench anybody cos of Valencia oh. We need 3pts against Bolton

I see Gary Neville taking John O'shea's spot; I hope the gaffer doesn't come up with a funny line-up for this match like that of the game against Rangers. The other big teams have lost/drawn their games today, I can only be hopeful that our boys will snatch all three points from this game and not wallow in the history of not winning outstanding games when others draw or lose.

All chelsea and arsenal fans, sorry about what happened. Don't worry, man u won't go down the same Lane. Just 3-1, 3 points.

I need to see a bicycle kick,overhead kick or upside down kick goal today,Berbatov.
