Chelsea's Michael Ballack Ready For Bolton Wanderers
The German yearning for positive result ahead of Red Devils visit next week...
Ballack played 90 minutes in that League Cup clash but is expecting a tougher test at Reebok Stadium today.
"It may be more physical, we are always prepared and know what to expect," Ballack told Chelsea's official club website.
"We know always it is a difficult game at Bolton but in the last few years we have had good wins there because we were ready.
"Sometimes you have to switch from one style to another, we can adapt to the game and have to dominate."
Chelsea narrowly lead Manchester United on the standings, and Ballack is hoping for a win against Bolton this round, which would keep the Blues in first place ahead of next week's top-of-the-table clash.
"It is important we go into Manchester United ahead, it will have a big influence on the game, first and second. We will try to be in front and that will mean winning on Saturday," concluded the former Bayern Munich man.
