Coyle: Swansea have been "outstanding"

Bolton boss Owen Coyle has said that Swansea are an "outstanding" football team ahead of their showdown this afternoon.

The Scot, whose side will look to build on their 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend, admits that the Welsh club will not lack confidence themselves after a recent win over Arsenal in the Premier League.

"As a player, coach, manager, I have loved the FA Cup and I hope my players share that same enthusiasm," he told the club's official website.

"Saturday gives us an opportunity to reach the last 16, and I'm sure that Brendan [Rodgers] will feel the same at Swansea.

"They have been outstanding, beating Arsenal the other week – it was probably similar to us and the result against Liverpool – and they have talented players and individual match-winners."

Meanwhile, defender Tim Ream will not start for Bolton after returning to the United States to complete his move from New York Red Bulls.
