Boss Tony Pulis orders Albion to keep their heads

Boss Tony Pulis has ordered West Brom to keep their heads when they return to Villa Park tomorrow looking for revenge in the FA Cup. more

The Baggies will look to book a Wembley semi-final at Villa's expense just five days after their last-gasp Premier League defeat.

Pulis's men were left fuming by the manner of the loss and by Villa defender Alan Hutton's high challenge on Baggies striker Saido Berahino.

But Pulis says there will be no spill-over from the league game when the teams meet in the FA Cup quarter-final tomorrow.

"Not with our players," he insisted. "We have a good group and I don't think we've got anyone who's vindictive or vicious.

"They don't have any of that in them. "We have to play the game with our heads and our feet.

"We'll give it our best shot and for that you need 11 men on the pitch. We don't want anyone doing anything stupid."

Pulis has a number of injury concerns ahead of the game with Victor Anichebe (groin) still missing and Berahino (foot), Brown Ideye (knee) and Callum McManaman (foot) all facing late checks.

"There are one or two others," said Pulis. "We've got little knocks and niggles that we will have a look at.

"We've got to be careful because of the size of the squad and the road ahead in respect of us trying to stay in the Premier League.

"This is a massive game for us and we'll try to put our strongest team out but we also know that there is stuff further down the line as well.

"Callum's done a bit of work but we're not sure whether he'll be fit.

"That's been a little bit of a setback for us because we will certainly need his trickery, especially at the back end of games.

"It would have been nice to have brought him on. We wrestled the initiative off Villa and we could have done with that extra quality up front.

"Stephane Sessegnon has had personal problems that are really devastating for himself so we've had to go careful with him."
