MATCH PREVIEW
Owen Coyle said last year that David Moyes' tenure as Everton manager is the "blueprint" for what he wants to achieve at the Reebok. If the Toffees represent the benchmark for Bolton, then Coyle must be pretty satisfied - Wanderers begin the weekend five places and three points above Moyes' men.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle
However, Coyle's side have lost ground of late, losing five of their last seven league games, and an Everton win on Sunday would mean the Merseysiders leapfrog them in the table.
Bolton came away empty handed from last week's trip to Tottenham but could easily have claimed all three points had Mark Clattenburg awarded a penalty for Benoit Assou-Ekotto's trip on Gary Cahill. Coyle is likely to get a sympathetic ear from Moyes; Everton are the only Premier League side yet to win a penalty, despite being the top flight's most-fouled side.
Like Coyle, Moyes has to work with a limited budget at Goodison. Everton this week revealed their latest accounting figures, which show club debt has risen ?7m to ?44.9m. Chief executive Robert Elstone admits there is little money available for transfers this summer but insists the club do not have to cash in on the likes of Jack Rodwell or Marouane Fellaini.
Everton recorded their third win in 15 top-flight games thanks to Louis Saha's four-goal haul against Blackpool, but the Frenchman is reportedly set to miss Sunday's game through injury. Bolton's leading scorer, Johan Elmander, has netted only once in his last 12 league appearances, but the club remain keen to keep him at the Reebok and have reportedly re-opened negotiations over a new deal.
