The best way to bounce back after disappointing defeats is to be ready & go for the next game so we expect both Aston Villa & Bolton to be ready for this one so we are expecting this to be a decent game.

Aston Villa will be looking to bounce straight back after their surprise 2-1 away at West Ham United on wednesday night & Martin O'Neil will certainly be looking for an immediate & positive response from his players.

Aston Villa had gone into the West Ham game unbeaten since the 26th september & team confidence was high so the defeat against West Ham is a setback & the Aston Villa players will be determined to show what they are capable of with the likes of Agbonlohar, Carew, Young & Milner all looking to show their quality here.

The 2-1 victory against Chelsea in their last home game will be what the Aston Villa players will look use as their motivation as to what can be achieved & we do expect a determined, attack minded response from Aston Villa here with their pace likely to be a big factor.

Bolton come into this game looking to bounce back after 2 straight 4-0 defeats against Chelsea & Gary Megson knows the importance of trying to achieve positive results wherever Bolton can get them.

Bolton have actually been much improved this season with a more open style of play but their old problems of defensively fragility remain & the fact they have not kept a clean sheet since august is a concern & makes them vulnerable in this match.

This should be a decent game with the expected determination of both sides to be positive & that should mean that play is quite open which we feel will greatly benefit Aston Villa & they look a solid bet to make their extra attacking quality pay here & take the points.
