Bolton Wanderers Vs. Manchester City: Lineups

Alright then. Both of these sides won 4-0 against just-promoted teams in the opening weekend, and a win for either takes them to the top of the Premier League. Bolton are unchanged from their thrashing of Queens Park Rangers last Saturday, but Roberto Mancini's side sports a few differences, notably the inclusion of Argentinian mega-wizard Sergio Aguero in the starting lineup. That's good news for Manchester City and bad for Bolton, but on the plus side for the hosts, Nigel de Jong is out of central midfield, so at least when Kun Aguero is ripping them to shreds they'll be in less physical pain than usual.

Bolton Wanderers (4-4-2): Jussi Jaaskelainen; Paul Robinson, Zat Knight, Gary Cahill, Gretar Steinsson; Martin Petrov, Nigel Reo-Coker, Fabrice Muamba, Chris Eagles; Kevin Davies, Ivan Klasnic.

Substitutes: Adam Bogdan, Marcos Alonso, Mark Davies, Robbie Blake, Darren Pratley, David Wheater, Adam Blakeman.

Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Aleksandar Kolarov, Joleon Lescott, Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards; James Milner, Gareth Barry; David Silva, Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero; Edin Dzeko.

Substitutes: Costel Pantilimon, Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy, Stefan Savic, Adam Johnson, Carlos Tevez, Mario Balotelli.
