Owen Coyle expects tough Spurs clash

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has admits that he expects a tough FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has admitted that he expects a tough FA Cup quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The two sides will meet at White Hart Lane on Saturday for a place in the last four of the competition.

Despite suggestions that Spurs have hit a recent slump with three consecutive league defeats, Coyle believes that Harry Redknapp's side are more than capable of winning the Cup.

"People are talking about how Spurs' recent results haven't been great but you have to look further than that," said Coyle. "Their performances recently have been of a very high standard but they haven't carried that little bit of luck.

"I don't think there is ever a good time to play Tottenham especially away from home, but we will go there and be fresh and energetic and try to get to the semi-finals.

"I think they are the favourites for the FA Cup, this is a club that has carried all before them this year."

The Trotters beat Milwall 2-0 in the last round thanks to goals from Ryo Miyaichi and David Ngog.
