Bolton boss Coyle knows uphill battle at Chelsea

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle knows they face an uphill battle tonight at Chelsea.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has already written off any chance of Bolton getting something from their trip to London.

Coyle said: "The DVDs I watched told me Chelsea are a very good team. We are very respectful and wary of that.

"We accept going to Chelsea is the toughest challenge around at the moment but it is a game when there is three points available.

"The form they are in, as champions-elect after Manchester United dropped points at the weekend to hand them the incentive, it will certainly be difficult.

"But if we play to our best we can win any given game but we have to recognise we are playing a team with world-class players.

"We have to make sure we get to our best and if we do that we will have a chance."
