Saturday's tea-time Premiership action comes from Villa Park and sees Martin O'Neill pit his not-so-inconsiderable wits against Sam Allardyce's Bolton Wanderers.

But this really is a hard fixture in which to come up with a probable winner.

As we said a few weeks ago, the midlanders are the draw specialists of the league this season with 10 already this season.

Although O'Neill has steadied the ship there has been a slightly skewed optimism about just how well the Irishman has done since taking over.

Villa have flattered to deceive too often to get carried away with talk of a European spots - their recent defeat to Manchester City at home is evidence of that.

Bolton, who have taken one point from a possible nine on their recent travels, hammered West Ham 4-0 last week but it would be unwise to look too closely a that result given the turmoil the London side are in at the moment.

One plus for the home side is that Bolton will be without the suspended El-Hadji Diouf and that could blunt the visitors' cutting edge in attack.

But even that loss may not be so significant in this match.

I'm not usually one for sitting on the fence but on this occasion I cannot see past a draw and so will be taking some of Betterbet.com's 11/5 for the game to end equal.
