Manchester City can take a five-point lead at the the top of the Premier League table with a win against Bolton Wanderers.

Manchester City will try to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table as they go up against Bolton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Roberto Mancini could decide to rest the likes of Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko for the fixture with one eye on the Europa League clash against Sporting Lisbon next week.

With Mario Balotelli being the only City player who didn't partake in international duty, the Italian is expected to start up front on Saturday.

Trotters boss Owen Coyle could partner Tim Ream and David Wheater at the back, with ex-Liverpool striker David N'Gog leading the line.

Arsenal loanee Ryo Miyaichi could also be handed a place in the starting lineup following his impressive start at the Reebok since joining in January.

Current form:

Manchester City: LWWWWW
Bolton: WDLLWL

Possible lineups:

Manchester City: Hart; Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy; Milner, De Jong, Yaya Toure, Silva; Johnson, Balotelli

Bolton:mBogdan; Ricketts, Ream, Wheater, Steinsson; Pratley, Eagles, Muamba, Reo-Coker, Miyaichi; N'Gog
