Owen Coyle looks set to replace Gary Megson providing compensation can be agreed with Burnley after stressing he wanted to move to the Reebok Stadium.[LNB]However caretaker manager Chris Evans, aided by head coach Steve Wigley, is again likely to be in charge tomorrow for the trip to Arsenal in the Barclays Premier League .[LNB]Bolton are unbeaten in five matches in all competitions after knocking League Two Lincoln out of the FA Cup.[LNB]Steinsson said: "We have a lot of exciting players and the new manager will have plenty of options to work with.[LNB]"We did alright in December although we did not get as many victories as we wanted to. But staying unbeaten says a lot about the group we have.[LNB]"Kevin Davies and Ivan Klasnic are working well together up front. Johan Elmander came on in the win against Lincoln and did well too.[LNB]"From a personal point of view it does not matter where we play in the Premier League, it is always enjoyable."[LNB]Defender Andy O'Brien claims it is in everyone's interests to have Megson's successor in place sooner rather than later.[LNB]He said: "The manager has been sacked, an interim management put in, and there will be someone new coming in. As a player you would like than to happen quickly.[LNB]"It's a really big month for us and some difficult games but we are looking forward to the challenge.[LNB]"We were unlucky last year not to get a draw against Arsenal at the Emirates. They are a very good side and we have got them twice this month, so hopefully we can gather some points."[LNB]Goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is expected to return to the side after being rested at the weekend with Ali Al Habsi keeping a clean sheet against Lincoln.[LNB][LNB]
