Bolton manager Owen Coyle has made it clear that there will be no ill-will between he and Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger this weekend.
The Gunners host the Trotters on Saturday and there is expected to be tension after the two bosses clashed verbally during the summer in regards to the North Londoners valuation of Bolton defender Gary Cahill.
But Coyle says everything will be fine whilst defending the Frenchman who has been criticised for Arsenal's poor start to the season.
"I am a huge admirer of Arsene Wenger," Coyle said.
"I have come up against him many times and there will be no tension." Of the negativity directed at Wenger, Coyle added: "It is absolutely ridiculous.
"Arsene Wenger is one of the best managers in world football, and always will be.
"But we have to accept football is a game of opinions and criticism comes along the way.
"I feel he is the perfect fit for Arsenal though, given their history and tradition and the way they have evolved over the years.
"Yes, they would like a trophy, but look at the players he has brought to the club.
"Maybe if he had the same resources as other managers of the biggest clubs, you would see an Arsenal side with different personnel."
