Bolton boss Owen Coyle believes his return to Turf Moor on Tuesday will be the first of many after predicting Burnley will return to the Barclays Premier League. Coyle got the Clarets promoted to the top flight in 2009, but they were relegated after he left the club to take over the Trotters in January. The Carling Cup third round tie between the two sides will be the 44-year-old's first time back, but Coyle is tipping successor Brian Laws to get Burnley promoted. "In football, I think we recognise whether it's as players, coaches or managers that you always eventually go back to your former clubs," Coyle said. "The cup this year has given me the opportunity to do that, but I fully expected, if we hadn't drawn Burnley in the cup, that we would meet them next year in the Premier League. "I believe they are fully equipped to come back into the top flight with the squad they have and Brian in charge."
