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.
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.
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.
Due a good game after a few quiet outings.
Central defenders Michael Dawson and Ledley King are doubtful as is Luka Modric.
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.
There have been nine FA Cup games between the two sides. Spurs hold a 3-2 lead in ties won.
