West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has insisted that his players have to keep their cool in their derby clash against Aston Villa in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
The two sides will play each other for the second time in five days after Tim Sherwood's men defeated the Baggies 2-1 in the Premier League at Villa Park.
The match proved to be an ill-tempered affair as six players were yellow-carded, and Pulis has urged his players not to let their passion overwhelm their football as they seek to earn a place in the last four of the competition.
He told reporters: "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 – and no one doing anything stupid."
West Brom last reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 2008.
