Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle says he's taking their FA Cup tie with Tottenham seriously.

Bolton, who have not won the FA Cup since 1958, host Tottenham in an all Premier League fifth-round tie at the Reebok Stadium tomorrow.

Coyle said: "For me it is the best club competition in world football and in any competition you enter you want to do your best. I believe we have got an opportunity to reach the last eight and if we can do that, who knows what the draw holds?

"It is a real opportunity to win a football match - against a quality side and one we are looking forward to. We are raring to go. I think there is a freshness because it is a cup competition and not one of the weekly Premier League games and what they bring.

"For me there is an energy about the cup. It is an opportunity for a bit of prestige, a bit of glamour and obviously the finances that goes with it. When all is said and done, we came into the job because the club is in a dangerous position in the bottom three.

"But equally, nothing breeds confidence more than winning matches. We recognise we are playing a good side but you want to be winning games and scoring goals. If you can do that against a the quality of Tottenham Hotspur, I think that would give everybody a big boost.

"We want to reach the last eight and do the fans justice."
