Prem Preview (Aston Villa vs Bolton)

I'm tipping Villa for this one. David O'Leary will be looking to build on last seasons 10th placed finish and get off to a good start at home Bolton.

The Wanderers are anything but a pushover, however, and they will be keen to get the new campaign off to a flier but I think that playing in Asia beforehand in pre-season will be a disadvantage.

My tip : Aston Villa 2 Bolton 1 (Expect O'Leary to have his Villa side eager for a good start)
