West Brom will treat Saturday's Black Country derby with Wolves in the same way as every other match, according to captain Scott Carson. The bitter rivals will meet for the first time in the Barclays Premier League, with the Baggies hoping to bounce back from last weekend's 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa. Carson told the official club website: "The British players know how big it is. But we are not going to go into it any differently and not put any added pressure on our backs. "We will go into it the same as we have been and hope it will be good enough. It was proved on Saturday, past performances don't matter. "It is all about the result. We know it is going to be a tough game."
