Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Wheater, Ream, Ricketts, Reo-Coker, Muamba, Sanli, Pratley, Miyaichi, Ngog.

Sunderland: Mignolet, Bardsley, Turner, O’Shea, Richardson, Larsson, Cattermole, Gardner, Colback, McClean, Sessegnon.

    Aguero starting, please now let this be a lesson.

    The way some posters convinced each other that he was a huge rotation risk was pretty ugly. Some probably read that rubbish and captained someone else or decided not to buy him etc, all because of a lie started and fed on here.
