Intro:

Tim Sherwood looks for his Aston Villa side to beat local rivals West Brom for the second time in a week as the West Midlands teams get ready for their FA Cup sixth round clash on Saturday (7th March).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Tim Sherwood:

"I always expect a hard game against any team what Tony Pulis is a manager of because I have got a lot of respect for him. He has been in the game an awful long time and to be involved in this game at a top level for a long time you have to be doing something right. So I believe in him as a manager but I can't really worry about what they are going to do. I've got to just focus on what we are going to do and I am looking for another improvement and a few more goals."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Tim Sherwood:

"It's huge isn't it? I mean it is a great opportunity for the club to go to Wembley, maybe go there twice, which would be great. That is the aim but we know there is a lot of hard work to be done. They will come and they will want to improve and they will want to beat us. We are quite aware of that and the boys will be focussed and just getting the job done."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Tim Sherwood (on return of Stiliyan Petrov to club as a coach):

"I think Stiliyan can add an awful lot to the football club. I would never bring him in just to be a mascot. I think he can contribute - certainly he can contribute to the boys mindset of what he has actually done in the last few months in his life. It's been a tough time for him. Going out and trying to win a football match is secondary to the fight what Stiliyan has come through. So he is also a very technical, gifted minded player and member of staff and I want him in here as quickly as possible."
