Bolton – QPR

Bolton host QPR in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes, as the home side sit 20th with just seven points from seven games, having managed only two wins and a solitary draw while conceding twelve goals. QPR arrive in the north with a much stronger résumé, occupying sixth place on 12 points after three victories and three stalemates, and boasting a positive goal difference of three. The visitors will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and close the gap on the top half, whereas Bolton must salvage points to avoid slipping further into the relegation zone. Historically the gap between the two clubs this season has been wide, and the clash could prove pivotal for Bolton’s survival hopes.
