West Brom v Wolves predictions

West Brom of the Championship host Premier League Wolves in an FA Cup Black Country derby and it should be worth getting out of bed for the 11.45am kick-off.

The Baggies are hoping to avoid a similar fate to that of Sunderland, who were outclassed by local rivals Newcastle in a 3-0 third-round defeat at the Stadium of Light.

West Brom's home record under Carlos Corberan suggests they should make life difficult for Wolves at The Hawthorns, where nine of the Baggies' 13 Championship wins have come this season.

They beat Norwich and promotion contenders Leeds on their own patch just after Christmas before 4-1 home wins over Blackburn in the Championship and Aldershot in the FA Cup third round.

However, Wolves are rated as solid favourites to silence the home supporters and Gary O'Neil's men are worth backing to win a game in which both teams score.

Wanderers drew 0-0 at Brighton in their last away match in the Premier League but there had been goals at both ends in nine of their previous ten road trips in all competitions.

Wolves are missing top scorer Hee-Chan Hwang, who is at the Asian Cup, but Pedro Neto is fit again and striker Matheus Cunha is in good form.

Cunha converted a 105th-minute penalty to seal a 3-2 win over Brentford at Molineux in the third-round replay.

Wolves also beat Chelsea 2-1, Brentford 4-1 and Everton 3-0 in their three league fixtures immediately before the stalemate at Brighton so they look capable of edging an entertaining derby.
