MATCH PREVIEW<\/b><\/p>\n

The Treble is still on, but Manchester United will be hoping to avoid an altogether less desirable hat-trick when Bolton come to town on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\t\t\tEvery time we enter the field we think we have a chance of winning games and we will certainly need all that come Saturday against, for me, the champions elect and a team that as everybody knows, are purely outstanding on every front<\/b>

<\/p>\n

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have booked their place in the last eight of the Champions League and the FA Cup semi-finals in the past week, but they return to league action looking to reassert their authority in the title race after successive defeats. <\/p>\n

United’s cause will not be helped by a number of key absentees, including the manager himself, who will watch the game from the stands following a five-match Football Association ban for comments made about referee Martin Atkinson. <\/p>\n

Ferguson will not be short of company – a deepening injury crisis could deprive United of 10 outfield players, while Paul Scholes starts his own suspension after picking up his 10th booking of the season. <\/p>\n

Bolton have won just one of their last 16 Premier League games against United, but they arrive in Manchester in excellent form, with six wins in their last eight matches and a place in the FA Cup semi-finals secured. <\/p>\n
