Shane Long: 'West Bromwich Albion capable of winning FA Cup'

Long confident of FA Cup glory

West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long believes that the Premier League outfit have a "great chance" of winning the FA Cup this season.

The Baggies were held to a 1-1 draw by Queens Park Rangers over the weekend, which has earned the side a replay of their third-round tie, but Long believes that Steve Clarke's team can beat anyone on the day.

"It's a great chance to win a medal and at the end of your career you want something to look back on," Long told the club's official website.

"The gaffer said before the game 'all you have to do is win six games and you win the FA Cup'. We've got a great squad of players here and we can beat any team on our day, so this is a great chance for us this season."

Meanwhile, the Baggies return to their league duties this Saturday when they take on Reading at the Madejski Stadium.
