Bolton 'to park bus' at Chelsea

Bolton Wanderers striker Kevin Davies has warned Chelsea they're in for a tough time on Sunday.

He said: "It's only goal difference now that can affect us so we'll go to Chelsea and put 10 men behind the ball. Hopefully, if we do that we'll be OK. We have to go down to Chelsea and do a job.

"Once we've done that we can focus on next season. Three or four weeks ago we were written off when we'd not won in eight. So to turn it round like we have done with three wins and a draw is unbelievable.

"It looks like we're nearly out of it but now we want to finish well at Chelsea and put this season behind us.

"There's been things wrong this season - there's been a lot of change. Everyone knows what a difficult season it has been."

Wanderers skipper Kevin Nolan admits his side do not yet consider themselves home and dry as they approach the last game.

He said: "We know we are not yet mathematically safe, although the win against Sunderland goes a long way towards it. We've got one foot on survival, now we need to go to Chelsea and finish it off. Getting 10 points out of 12 is a magnificent achievement and it's put us in a good position going into the last game.

"We seem to have saved our best form for the end of the season - so it's been good timing."
