Chelsea prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Blues are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 12 of the 49 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stamford Bridge was less than a year ago, in November 2004, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Premiership match.
