Poll: Should West Brom and Aston Villa prioritise a cup run for next season?

Aston Villa captain Ron Vlaar has today targeted cup success to end their 18-year wait for a trophy.

West Brom last won the FA Cup in 1968 and we are asking fans whether their club should target silverware during the 2014/15 season.

In January, Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert sparked controversy claiming that clubs had no interest in the cup competitions as they prioritised league survival over a cup run.

In recent years, both Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic have won trophies and suffered relegation in the same season.

Winning either the League Cup or FA Cup guarantees the winner with a spot in the Europa League.

This year, FA Cup runners up Hull City qualified for Europe as winners Arsenal had already qualified for the Champions League based on their final league position.

We ask, should your club target a strong cup run next season?
