Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is confident former club Burnley will stay in the Premiership this season.

Coyle also insists he will always "love" the Clarets, despite his controversial departure last week.

"I still believe the football club will stay in the Premier League with whoever comes in," said Coyle.

"Whoever it is, he is off to a great start because the group of players there have such energy and the fans will play a part as they always have done.

"We have lost one game at home since February and even that only happened after Brian Jensen hurt his ankle and came off.

"I believe the football club will still be in the Premier League next year - I certainly hope they are.

"I'll always love that football club."
