FA Cup: Blackburn v Wolves preview - Vitor Pereira set to name strong side
Vitor Pereira insists he will name a strong side against Blackburn with Wolves focusing solely on winning their FA Cup clash.


The head coach would be forgiven for ringing the changes against their Championship opponents with Premier League survival the priority.
But Pereira - who also named a strong side against Bristol City in the last round - is adamant that he wants to beat Rovers but says he will also find the right balance by giving some first team stars an opportunity to play.
"We'll start with a strong team, committed, with some changes in the team," Pereira said.
"I will make some changes because I want to show my squad that I trust in everybody and all the players are important to us.
"We cannot prepare two games in advance. I'm preparing the Blackburn game and if I start watching Liverpool, it will be a problem for me.
"I cannot do it, it is a mistake.
"My target, my focus, my mind, all of me is in the next game.
"I just think about the next game and we will face a historic club in this country, away.
"We will go there with just one thing in our minds, to win the game and move forward to the next round.
"This is our commitment, to do our best to win the game.
"A good result brings confidence."
Pereira will have decisions to make in midfield with Tommy Doyle and Boubacar Traore desperate for minutes, while Joao Gomes returns from suspension and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is coming off a starring performance in the win over Villa.
The head coach will also need to decide whether to play talisman Matheus Cunha, who will be key to Wolves' top flight survival chances, but may also be needed to ensure victory over Rovers.
New signings Marshall Munetsi and Nasser Djiga are available for the game but have had limited training time this week after moving to England
As a result, Pereira was coy about their involvement on Sunday, but says both players will add depth and quality to the squad.
"It's difficult because Marshall has worked just once with us and Nasser will have his first training (on Saturday)," Pereira said when asked if they will play in the FA Cup.
"It's time to understand what we want from them and time for them to be connected with their team-mates.
"Marshall has this pace, he was the player that ran the most in the last training session.
"He brings pace and that's why we went for him.
"The squad now has more balance and more solutions.
"Physically we're stronger and I think the club did good work, I'm happy.
"They will need some time to adapt but physically they are strong and it's a physical league.
"Of course you also need the tactical and technical level but I believe these two players can add something to the squad.
"We are more competitive inside and this is important for us."
