Bolton to rotate squad for Spurs FA Cup tie
Despite the incentive of an FA Cup semi-final at stake Bolton Wanderers are set to "freshen up" their squad for the sixth round trip to Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
With his side embroiled in a relegation battle Bolton manager Owen Coyle said he will make changes for the trip to North London.
"You have to make sure that you get the balance right, and so it's fair to say that there will be one or two players coming in," Coyle told a news conference.
"I've got to stress that it will be one or two and not wholesale changes like teams have done before.
"We have a number of top-class players champing at the bit and ready to start games. They have been sitting on the bench and have wanted to play their part."
Spurs will be without winger Aaron Lennon against Bolton while striker Emmanuel Adebayor is also a doubt.
Lennon injured his hamstring in the fifth round replay against Stevenage and missed the 1-0 league defeat at Everton last weekend. Adebayor also has a hamstring tweak.
Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard said his side will shake off the 3-0 derby league defeat by Liverpool in midweek and concentrate on overcoming Sunderland in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday.
