Bolton and Swansea meet in the FA Cup fourth round at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday, with both Premier League sides eager to put a cup run together to give their fans something to cheer about.

Bolton are currently 17th in the Premier League table, and lifted themselves out of the relegation mire with an impressive 3-1 win over Liverpool in their last outing. Goals from the impressive Mark Davies, Nigel Reo-Coker and Greitar Steinsson guaranteed the three points and makes it three wins in five games in all competitions for the Trotters. Owen Coyle may well be tempted to field some second string players as the league is the club’s main priority, but a cup run would be a welcome distraction from the tricky predicament the club find themselves in. A 2-0 win over Macclesfield in the last round got the Reebok Stadium outfit to this stage of the competition. Bwin has the hosts at odds of 2.35 to get the win.

Swansea have impressed on their first season in the Premier League and have looked to play attacking and expansive football this campaign. The Welsh side beat Barnsley 4-2 in the last round to reach this stage, and followed this up with an excellent 3-2 win over Arsenal in the league a week later. Despite a 2-0 defeat to Sunderland last time out, spirits are high at the Liberty Stadium, and the visitors will come out full of confidence. Manager Brendan Rodgers has signed a new contract this week, and is a key reason for the outfit’s success. Bwin has the Swans at odds of 2.95 to get a win.

Team selection will play a major part in deciding the result of this one, but the home fans will be keen to see their side win. My FA Cup football betting tip is a 2-1 win to Bolton, which Bwin have at odds of 9.25.
