F.A.Cup 4th round draw

W.B.A./ Peterborough  v  Q.P.R./Burnley

Albion have confirmed their FA Cup third-round replay at Peterborough will take place on Tuesday, January 13 (ko 7.45pm).

There are so many transfer rumours flying around at the moment that I will not put any of them up until they are officially confirmed by the club itself.

The former West Brom and Coventry striker Lee Hughes's fine form in League One has seen him linked with a move to Doncaster Rovers, with a clause in his contract believed to value him at £400,000.

"I've said this before but the issue is completely in Lee's hands. Hopefully he will stay but if he wants to go, he will be able to go. People know the price," said Oldham managing director Simon Corney.

Villa midfielder Gareth Barry is doubtful for Saturday’s derby clash with Albion, boss Martin O’Neill has admitted.

He missed Sunday’s FA Cup win at Gillingham with a groin injury and the club are awaiting the results of scans on the problem.

O’Neill said: “We will assess the results of the scans but the fact is Gareth is desperate to play.”
