Middlesbrough face a trip to Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Boro will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 33 and win only 6 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
