Arsenal prepare to entertain Bolton Wanderers at Highbury at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Gunners are clearly on top, having won 34 and lost only 8 of the 56 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highbury was less than a year ago, in March 2004, the Gunners carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.
