MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• This clash between two of the Football League's founder members is one of six matches selected to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Football League.
• Burnley hold a slight edge over Bolton, having won 47 and lost 46 of the 123 league and cup meetings with their Lancashire rivals.
• Burnley need one goal to take their total in league games against the Trotters at Turf Moor to 100.
• This is the fifth time they are facing each other in the first game of the season and honours are even, at a win a piece and two draws.
Burnley
• Burnley, who were champions of England in 1921 and 1960, are one of three current Championship clubs to have spent just one season in the Premier League (2009/10).
• The Clarets started last season with a win, and then lost their next three league matches.
• They are kicking off at Turf Moor for the fourth year running (W2, D1). Defeat will take the club's total of home losses in second-tier football to 200.
Bolton Wanderers
• Bolton, like Burnley, are entering their 115th league campaign, but have never been crowned champions of England.
• They are one of four Football League founder members competing in the Championship this season, which is also their second year outside the Premier League.
• Dougie Freedman masterminded a late bid for the play-offs last season, guiding the Trotters from 20th in the first week of February to a seventh-placed finish.
