Black Country Derby anticipation growing but not for West Brom boss Carlos Corberan...yet

Since Wolves edged past Brentford in their third round replay on Tuesday - there has been a buzz among the supporters of both sides, with a scramble to secure a ticket for next Sunday's tie.

It will be the first meeting between the sides since 2021 and the first in front of fans since Albion's 5-1 demolition job at Molineux back in 2012.

But although the anticipation among fans is growing - Corberan has his mind focussed on one thing.

He said: “I knew we would play against one of the teams, but today I would like to be focused on tomorrow’s game. I will be fully committed to answer everything with Wolves the next week.

“I know how important it is, I know the derby, I know things, but it’s true that in my mind I didn’t see any single game of the opponent, I have been watching all the games of Norwich. My mind is just focused on this.

“I know we play Wolves, I know it’s an exciting moment for fans, because it’s a real derby game, but we will analyse it next week and are focused now on the most important game of the season now, which is Norwich.

“Sometimes I like to not even...to smell anything – and I was sick which helped me too! I prefer to just focus on the things I have and then I will be into it with everything. But it is not the time now, I like to be completely focused on something when it’s the right moment.”
