Just five weeks after Wolves took Black Country bragging rights on Derby Day in the league, the Old Gold meet West Bromwich Albion once again – this time in cup action – in their first home game of 2026.
After the disappointment of two postponements to kick-off 2026, Wolves finally got their year underway with an 8-0 win over over Birmingham City PGA last weekend to progress to the semi-finals of the Birmingham FA Challenge Cup. Attentions now turn to renewing Black Country rivalries, with the winner of the FA WNL Cup tie facing a home semi-final against Swindon Town or AFC Bournemouth on Sunday 1st February.
The Baggies have also played just once since our meeting in December - winning 1-0 against Leafield Athletic on Wednesday night - and will be looking to avenge the three goals scored by Anna Morphet, Amber Hughes and Amy Sims at the Alexander Stadium.
