History of the Bolton Wanderers v Birmingham City fixture
Blues face Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 6 of the 52 games on Bolton soil.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2003, when Wanderers beat Blues in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Premiership match.
