Seconded, more importantly though he needs to score. Im goint to the game so I wana see goals, mainly from us, and seeing as Coyle has decided that he is going to field a weakened team as his priorities lie elsewhere I think we're gona be banging em in. 4-0 Spurs

Pav MUST start this game and he MUST score if he does play because that will put more pressure on Harry to pick him regulary! I think we will give them a right kicking to be honest because of Coyle picking a weakened side. This was supposed to be televised on ITV 1 but now they are showing Inter Milan v Chelscum it says in the TV guide, but i found out this is live on the FA Cup official website.

Tottenham will be without Ledley King for the FA Cup fifth-round replay with Bolton because of a thigh injury.

Aaron Lennon also misses out after suffering a setback in his recovery from a groin problem, while Younes Kaboul and Kyle Walker are cup-tied.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle could be tempted to rotate his squad with his side in the midst of a relegation battle.

Vladimir Weiss and Jack Wilshere are cup-tied, while Gretar Steinsson, Chris Basham and Mark Davies are injured.

And that could mean the likes of Stuart Holden, Jlloyd Samuel, Tamir Cohen, Andy O'Brien, Ali Al Habsi and Mustapha Riga all feature, with Coyle saying: "The priority is to stay in the Premier League.

"If somebody was to say me 'would you give up the FA Cup to stay in the Premier League?' the answer to that is yes - it remains our number-one aim.

But I believe we can stay in the Premier League and progress in the FA Cup.


"Are Tottenham Hotspur the favourites to win? Absolutely. Can we go there and win? Of course we can, so we'll go there and look to try and take the game to them in a positive manner."

Bolton are likely to have to face Roman Pavlyuchenko in the Spurs attack, just three days after his two-goal salvo helped the Londoners beat Wigan on Sunday.

And Redknapp is tipping the Russian, who has been out of favour for long spells this season leading to speculation he wants to leave the club, to fire Tottenham into the quarter-finals and an away tie at Fulham.

"When he is in the right frame of mind and comes on like he did on Sunday, I have always said he is a fantastic talent with great ability," he said.

"If he can score some goals for us between now and the end of the season to take us where we want to go, then that will be a real bonus for us.

"When he is at his best, he is a top player - he has played at World Cups and, if he can do that for us, it will be great.

"I also need to give Eidur a chance to play as well, because he has been great in training. He is another player who is very much in my mind."

4-0 even easier, missed the last goal tho as we had to get out of the car park quickly, was it good?

Im so happy for Pav, he seems to really be enjoying his football when he plays and the crowd absolutely love him! I hear now that he will be starting against Everton on sunday which is good. His composure on both of the goals was second to none and i bet if Crouch was put in the same position he would have messed up. Overall it was a stroll in the park but in the last 10 - 15 minutes when Bolton were putting on 'pressure' are defence was a bit hazardous at times and gave away silly corner kicks. Good to see Gudjohnson make his debut and shame his goal was dissallowed because i think he was on side. Bale had yet another good game! So Fulham next away, that will be a tougher test. Also what did you guys think about BAE at right back?

I've never been a Pav fan but he is starting to turn me.

I do rate Crouch but the more i see Spurs play with him starting the more worrying it is as we are turning in to a long ball team and it frustrates the hell out of me.

If Pav carries on in this form i've got to say i'd prefer an in form Pav to an in form Crouch.

Biggs~ Pav and defoe has shown they can produce goals. Of course Defoe will score more!

I think they both will score a lot of goals. Pav is a better finisher than Crouch, and Defoe will continue scoring,

I think Pav and defoe only played together like twice last season, Stoke at home and Burley away(CC) and in both games they combined really well. Plus against Olypaikos in pre-season they played really well together. In addition to this Pav seems to link up awesomely wiv Modders. Eidur played well last nite and he deserved to get a goal. The way he played and some of his touches last nite remided me of a certain bulgarian. Although he did show a lot of pace last nite unlkie the bulgarian.

But i honestly believe Defoe will prefer to play with crouch.

If Pav and Defoe can do better ill shut up

Roman Pavlyuchenko continued his recent resurgence with two more goals to earn Tottenham an all-London FA Cup quarter-final away to Fulham.

Pavlyuchenko tucked in the opener for Spurs from Luka Modric's flicked pass.

Jussi Jaaskelainen was at fault for the first of two Bolton own goals, the ball deflecting in off his leg as he failed to deal with a Wilson Palacios centre.

Gareth Bale's cross later went in off Andrew O'Brien before Pavlyuchenko drilled in a Danny Rose centre late on.

For the often-overlooked Pavlyuchenko, who made a strong case for his inclusion with two goals at Wigan on Sunday, the evening added further lustre to an impressive record in the domestic cups.

Pavlyuchenko has played second fiddle to Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch this season, but on a night when Tottenham were rarely required to be at their flowing best, the Russian's second brace in three days brought his Spurs cup tally to 13 goals in 13 matches.

With his side locked in a Premier League relegation battle, there is little that the Bolton manager Owen Coyle would not give for that level of return just now.

For all Tottenham's first-half superiority - and this was without doubt a deserved victory for Harry Redknapp's side - Bolton, energised by the second-half arrival of Mustapha Riga, were at times the better side after the break.

But the Trotters could not translate that intermittent superiority into goals, and their lack of a clinical finisher - combined with some abysmal defending - meant they never achieved a foothold in the game.

In mitigation, Coyle, mindful of Bolton's parlous Premier League plight - they currently lie 18th, a point adrift of safety - rested five members of the relegation resistance.

Coyle had insisted that his side would compete with Tottenham regardless of his selection decisions but, with the notable exception of Riga, Bolton's second string rarely looked capable of causing an upset.

Tottenham were frequently lackadaisical when Bolton were in possession, and both Matt Taylor and Ivan Klasnic should have punished early mistakes by Bale, whose impressive work on the overlap was on more than one occasion marred by a lack of defensive focus.

Culpable too was Ricardo Gardner, who should have done better than head tamely behind from Sam Ricketts' precise cross early on.

Coyle cut a distraught figure on the sidelines in the wake of that miss, and when Modric fed Pavlyuchenko on the edge of the area, it became clear why.

Skipping over a flimsy challenge from Zat Knight, the Russian calmly balanced himself before tucking a low shot across Jaaskelainen for his third goal in 40 minutes of playing time since his late appearance at Wigan.

One became two soon afterwards when Tom Huddlestone fed a corner to Palacios on the right-hand side of the box.

Electing to tackle the Honduran's cross with his legs, the normally reliable Jaaskelainen - who had pulled off a fine save from Defoe only moments earlier and was again under pressure from the England man - failed to make contact and the ball rebounded in off his standing leg.

Further Bolton embarrassment followed shortly after the break when Bale capped a surging run down the left with a near-post cross that the stretching O'Brien could only divert into his own net.

Coyle responded with a double substitution, introducing Riga alongside fellow striker Johan Elmander.

The result was a sudden injection of urgency, with Riga - clearly intent on making the most of a rare chance to impress - offering Heurelho Gomes his first real tests of the night.

The most notable of those chances came when the Ghana-born Dutchman's close-range header produced a fine reflex save from the Tottenham keeper.

But there was to be no fairytale turnaround for Bolton, and instead Spurs - who were themselves energised by the half-time introduction of the lively Eidur Gudjohnsen - put the gloss on the win with a late fourth.

Danny Rose, on as a 70th minute replacement for David Bentley, broke down the right before finding Pavlyuchenko, who slotted in the fourth from eight yards.

It capped a fine night for Spurs, who will travel to Craven Cottage in the last eight with hopes high that Redknapp can mastermind a repeat of his 2008 Cup final win with Portsmouth.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp:

"It's great to see Pavlyuchenko score four goals in two games, he's in great form and let's hope he can keep that up to the end of the season.

"It's difficult for Bolton, because Owen has obviously got the league on his mind, but things are going well for us.

"It will be a difficult game at Craven Cottage, but we can only focus on the next game, and that's Everton in the league.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle:

"Anyone who thinks that was a four-nil performance was watching a different game from me.

"We lost the game, but 4-0 isn't a fair reflection.

"We had chances to score, but we didn't take them.

"I put out a team to win an FA Cup tie, and they could have done that."
