Jlloyd On Boltons Game v Arsenal

Jlloyd Samuel previews Saturday’s clash with Arsenal at the Reebok and explains why Bolton have reason to feel confident, despite their league position.

‘It is a big fixture for us. But now that we are in the situation we’re in, every single game is a big game. It is an old cliché that every game is like a cup final when it gets to this stage of the season. But the cliché is there for a reason. That`s exactly the way it is. especially when you’re fighting for your life at the bottom of the table.

‘Is it a good time to be playing them considering their form? Perhaps – but really, is any time a good time to play Arsenal? They’re a hugely talented side. Everyone knows what they are capable of. They’re a team that, on paper, you might fancy beating because they haven`t won in a few games. In reality it will make them hungrier to get themselves back to winning ways.

‘We need the fans’ help as well. We always want more from them, just like they want more from us. Hopefully they will be out in full force this Saturday to get behind the team.’
