Head to Head

  • Last season's corresponding fixture, the first meeting in the Premiership of the two promoted clubs, was an uneventful goalless draw.
  • Unlike this season's reverse fixture, which produced five goals - three from the penalty spot in Fulham's first Premiership match at their adopted home, Loftus Road. The first two spot kicks came inside the first 11 minutes, with Michael Ricketts scoring Bolton's first goal of the season and Louis Saha equalising. Sylvain Legwinski recorded a double for Fulham as both clubs started a second successive League campaign with a five-goal thriller.
  • Bolton are seeking a third win in five home League meetings with the Cottagers, while Fulham are chasing a second win in three visits to the Reebok.
  • Wanderers' last home win over Fulham in the top flight was nearly 39 years ago, when they won 2-1 in the former First Division on 8 February, 1964.
  • Fulham's last top flight victory at Bolton was 41 years ago, a 2-3 success in the old Division One on 20 September, 1961.
  • The Londoners could complete their first 'double' over Bolton in twenty years, and second since the League fixture was first contested in 1908.
  • Bolton's biggest win in this corresponding fixture was 4-0 on 10 November, 1934 in the old League - Division Two. Fulham's biggest most recent win in a League match at Bolton was 0-3 on 19 October, 1991 in the former Third Division.
  • The last man to be sent off in League fixtures between these clubs was Luis Boa Morte. The Fulham player was shown the red card during the 1-1 Nationwide First Division draw at Craven Cottage on 4 March, 2001.
  • The last player to bag a hat trick in this identical fixture was Graham Leggat. He scored all the goals in Fulham's 0-3 top flight victory on 22 October, 1960.
  • A six pointer between two clubs sitting next to each other immediately above the relegation zone.

Matchday Referee

Alan Wiley - Burntwood
Referee Alan WileyNot only is Alan Wiley a referee, but the 41-year-old also earns his living as a policeman which should endear him to the Premier League crowds.

Making his Premiership debut in the 2000/01 season, Wiley kept a low profile and avoided any controversial decisions. His standing improved during the 2001/02 campaign though, and Wiley took charge of 23 matches, handing out an average of 3.04 yellow cards per game.

Wiley's first taste of power came in 1981 during a match in the Walsall Minor League, but his ascension to top ranking official came via the assistant's route. He became a league linesman in 1991, moving on to the Premiership's list in 1994, before finally becoming a top referee in 1995.

(Ed. Alan Wiley was in charge of the reverse fixture when those three penalties were awarded. He was also the man in the middle for Fulham's 2-0 defeat at Newcastle on 21 December, when he sent off their Cameroon defender Pierre Wome for a challenge on Andy Griffin.

Ref Wiley also officiated at the 4-1 thrashing of Bolton earlier in this season and "looked after us" on 4 occasions last season. In the home game against Liverpool Fulham thought they should have been awarded a penalty two minutes after the interval when Luis Boa Morte went down under a challenge from Xavier. But instead of pointing to the spot, referee Wiley booked the Portuguese international for diving, to the fury of the home fans. At the time it seemed a poor decision as Xavier had been leaning on Boa Morte with his left arm. With the aid of t.v. footage it was clear that a penalty should have been given but Wiley choose to let the decision stand rather than withdraw the caution. )
