Spurs are Bolton`s opponents at the Reebok in the FA Cup, with loan signing Eidur Gudjohnsen making a return to the club that rescued his career.

Vital Quotes:

Owen Coyle likes the FA Cup.

‘For me it is the best club competition in world football and in any competition you enter you want to do your best.`

So he`ll be fielding a full strength side then?

‘There will be a few changes, we do have a number of knocks I wouldn’t want to aggravate.`

No, he won`t.

Bolton Team News:

Gary Cahill is still out, so Owen Coyle has a choice of Sam Ricketts, Andy O`Brien and Danny Shittu to partner Zat Knight. Reassuring it ain`t.

Gavin McCann and Sean Davis are long term casualties and Ivan Klasnic will miss a couple more games.

Player to watch: Lee Chung-Yong

Due a good game after a few quiet outings.

Tottenham Team News:

Central defenders Michael Dawson and Ledley King are doubtful as is Luka Modric.

Player to watch: Aaron Lennon

Bolton`s motley collection of full backs are all a bit rubbish, so the man with the girliest running action in football may have a fun afternoon.

Match Facts & Stats

There have been nine FA Cup games between the two sides. Spurs hold a 3-2 lead in ties won.

Ref Watch:

Phil Dowd. Rumoured to be the front runner for the role of Bungle, when children`s series Rainbow is revived in the summer

Next Fixtures:
