    A look ahead to Bolton/Everton
    I saw Wilforth had highlighted Bolton for a possible value play in a good situation.
    Well, let's have a look into the matchup and see what is what with this game.

    First of all - The Price: Bolton are now 13/8 but had started out as 9/5 underdogs i think. Everton were 6/4 and are now 7/4, once again, i can't be certain but i think so.
    BOLTON

    H2H: Everton have a 4-4-2 record here in recent years including winning 3 of the last 4, all by a single goal margin.
    EVERTON

    Form: Bolton, 2-2-2, Everton, 3-2-1. Bolton have arguably had the harder recent schedule which they have come out of very well, losing only narrowly at Old Trafford. Everton have drawn their last 2 and looked very shaky, then they went away and lost 5-0 at Benfica.
    BOLTON

    Injuries: Everton have 8 first teamers out including Yobo, Neville, Arteta and Jagielka.
    Bolton have A O'Brien and S Davis out as well as Elmander.
    BOLTON

    Situation: Everton have come back from an embarrassing defeat in Portugal and now go to the Reebok having not won in 3 games. Bolton have scored in each of their last 8 games and are notorious for being tough at home. Everton are very good on the road and don't have a big problem dealing with the PL after a Uefa game.
    Bolton haven't won at home and the weather is going to be bad. The stats make this look like an over game, which i feel has value.
    I think Bolton do get the situational edge
    BOLTON

    I can't think of many more angles on the game, please add them if you think they are necessary.

    I think Bolton have the edge and think a play on Bolton DNB @ 10/11 is the best and most value play.

    Views welcome, let's beat those books

    I just don't understand why Everton is still favored in this match; it's like the books are asking for Bolton money.
