Wolves boss O'Neil: We know fans desperate for win at West Brom

Wolves boss Gary O'Neil says the players will know the importance of their FA Cup clash at West Brom on Sunday.

Wolves haven't won at the Hawthorns since 1996.

"We do (have momentum), but we also go into it after two tough, big efforts," O'Neil said.

"Brentford for 120 minutes and then another physical and mental effort against Brighton. It's on me and the team now to make sure we get them back and recovered again.

"There's been some noise already from outside about the game and how big it is for the area. The lads understand and anyone who's not too sure will be made fully aware this week how important the game is to everybody.

"As they all are. We were desperate to beat Brentford in the FA Cup and West Brom will be no different. The fans will be more desperate for us to win, of course, and we respect that.

"But for us it's a cup game that we need to approach in the right way and try to get through to the fifth round."
