History of the Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers fixture

Chelsea prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 12 of the 51 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stamford Bridge was just last season, in April 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership match.
