Bolton manager Owen Coyle hopes his side's recent good form will begin translating into better results as the Trotters travel to Millwall in the FA Cup this Saturday.

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle believes some good results in the FA Cup can help them pull away from the relegation zone.

Wanderers find themselves in the drop zone and face Championship side Millwall in the last sixteen of the competition.

But when asked if this weekend's trip to the New Den was a distraction for his players the Scotsman said: "If you can win games of football then it is certainly not a distraction. Winning breeds confidence and it gives everyone a lift".

Coyle added: "We are a point from safety and we are in the last sixteen of the FA Cup. We will look to go and win this cup tie and hope it gives us the momentum so that we can remain in the Premier League".

Bolton reached the FA Cup semi-final last season before being thrashed 5-0 at Wembley by Stoke City but Coyle still remains a fan of the competition: "The FA Cup is the best cup competition in world football and I'll take issue with anybody who thinks otherwise.

"We have a tremendous history and tradition and a lot of that involved the FA Cup so as a club we want to go as far as we can."
