Trotters backed to maintain Premier League status

Bolton are 1/8 with Sky Bet to maintain their Premier League status in Owen Coyle's first full season in charge at the Reebok Stadium. Since Sam Allardyce's departure in 2007, The Trotters have fallen from top-10 regulars to relegation scrappers, managing just 41 and 39 points in the last two seasons. Coyle's men are 7/2 according to the online bookmaker to suffer the drop in 2010/11 and end a 10-year stay in the top-flight.

Flair

In Martin Petrov, Bolton have added possibly the second-best available free agent. The Bulgarian's arrival from Manchester City will add a touch of flair down the left-hand side. With Petrov and the lively Lee Chung-Yong on each wing, Kevin Davies should have plenty of opportunities to convert crosses into goals. The Bolton captain, who has scored over 50 league goals since returning to the North West, is a 100/1 shot to be the Premier League's top goalscorer this season. Finally, Sky Bet are offering odds off 5000/1 that Bolton are the unlikely winners of the title under the former Burnley boss. For the latest Premier League betting markets, click here
