Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal Owen Coyle is known for his commitment to attractive football, but his first game in charge of Bolton Wanderers may oblige him to adopt some of the pragmatism that made his predecessor Gary Megson unpopular with much of the support. Arsenal are the Premier League's top scorers and 23 of the goals have come in away games.
