West Bromwich Albion is set to face Wolves in the Black Country Derby.

What's at Stake?

The two teams will meet on September 19 at Molineux and again on February 20 at the Hawthorns. Wolves legend Steve Bull is confident that his team can secure local bragging rights.

The Rivalry Heats Up

Albion promotion-winner Kevin Phillips believes supporters will be relishing the clash at Molineux come September. Phillips bagged nine career goals in 17 games against Wolves, four while playing for West Bromwich Albion. He said: 'When you hear fans saying they don't want their rivals to come up, they want them to get relegated - you don't. You want them in the same league.'
