Bolton Wanderers' manager Owen Coyle has said he anticipates Tottenham Hotspur to be challenging for the Premier League title come the end of the season.

Spurs have won eight of their last nine in the league and can temporarily leapfrog Manchester United and move into second place with a win today when they host Coyle's side.

Speaking ahead of the Trotters' trip to White Hart Lane, Coyle said: "I think [Spurs] can challenge for the title.

"The thing they have at the moment is great strength in depth. They have (Emmanuel) Adebayor now and (Roman) Pavlyuchenko can't get in – he's different class.

"In terms of the injuries and the squad they have got, they are definitely capable.

"They are free-flowing, pleasing on the eye, and they are a match for the best teams in this country."

Bolton have had less of a strong start to the season and currently lie in the bottom three, two points from safety.
