Today can turn out to be a vital day in the race for English Premier League title this season.

While leader’s Manchester United will play against formidable Everton away from the home. Chelsea will host physically demanding Bolton Wanderers.

There is no doubt that Manchester United has a tricky match up against Everton because they will play in their home den and Toffees record at Goodison Park is exceptional to say the least. To beat Everton, Manchester United will have to play well and most importantly have to score because defender Rio Ferdinand and Vidic will not play the match. Though, captain Gary Neville is back from the injury.

Manchester United is presently three points ahead of second placed Chelsea but any slip-up today against Everton can cost them dearly in their surge for winning three trophies this season.

Talking about Chelsea, Arjen Robben can make a return from injury but mercurial midfielder Michael Ballack misses out. Playing at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea is more or less unbeatable but Bolton under their manager Sam Allardyce is not a push over. Likes of Nicolas Anelka and Kevin Nolan can give Chelsea a run for their money.
