Clough excited by Midlands cup tie

25 January 2010 11:28
After overcoming Doncaster in round four, the Rams were paired against the Premier League's in-form side in the last 16 of the competition.[LNB]Birmingham are eighth in the top flight and have not lost a game since they were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal on October 17.[LNB]"Obviously at this stage our focus remains on the league and the cup tie doesn't come along for a while. We have some very important games between now and then, not least at Plymouth Argyle (on Tuesday night)," said Clough.[LNB]"However, it's a very good tie for the football club. It's a Premier League club and it's a home draw.[LNB]"Also, with them being from just across the way, it should mean they bring a decent following which should all make for a good game at Pride Park."[LNB][LNB]
