Tim Sherwood predicts "huge" game against West Bromwich Albion

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has said that he is expecting "a huge game" when his side faces West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup this evening.

The local rivals square up in the quarter-final stage of the competition, with the winner earning the opportunity to play at Wembley in the last four.

"We're not blessed with a lot of fit players, but we'll go in to the game with the best side we can," Sherwood told BBC Sport.

"We expect a huge game against a Tony Pulis side and we go in to it with the prospect of a Wembley semi-final at the end."

Villa currently hold 17th spot in the Premier League, with 25 points from 28 games so far this season.
