Arsenal travel to the Reebok, a bogey ground in recent years, looking to end a run of three straight league defeats and put pressure on Chelsea in fourth.

Arsenal travel to the Reebok on Wednesday to take on Bolton Wanderers, looking to end a run of three straight league defeats.

The Gunners have recently fell to Fulham, Swansea and Manchester United and despite Bolton's lowly league position, Arsene Wenger's men will travel with trepidation as the Reebok has been a bogey ground in recent years.

Wenger has a relatively fit squad to choose from and may again select the impressive Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to play on the opposite wing to Theo Walcott.

For Wanderers manager Owen Coyle, Tim Ream is available for selection after his move from New York Red Bulls but Zat Knight and David Wheater may retain their places in the middle of one of the league's leakiest back-fours.

Current league form:

Bolton: WLDWLW
Arsenal: WDWLLL

Possible lineups:

Bolton: Jaaskelainen; Steinsson, Knight, Wheater, Robinson; Eagles, M Davies, Reo-Coker, Petrov; N'Gog, Klasnic

Arsenal: Szczesny; Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Koscielny; Walcott, Arteta, Song, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Van Persie

Sports Mole says: 2-2
