Man Utd star Darren Fletcher is anticipating a fierce struggle against Bolton tonight as Wanderers fight for their top-flight existence.

Bolton beat Manchester United at the Reebok in November thanks to Nicolas Anelka's goal and Fletcher is expecting another physical battle as the Barclays Premier League leaders try to make their game in hand over Arsenal count.

Fletcher said: "There are going to be a lot more twists and turns in the title race as we all have to play each other.

"We have to focus on trying to win every league game but we know it is going to be difficult against Bolton. They are down there fighting to stay in the league while we are fighting to win it. It makes it a tough game.

"Bolton are a physical side and hard to break down. They pose a threat from set-pieces and thrown-ins. They will pose us problems and we have to counter that."
