West Bromwich Albion midfielder Jason Koumas has warned play-off final opponents Derby County that confidence in the Baggies camp is sky high.

The two sides will go head-to-head for a place in the Premiership at Wembley on May 28 and the Wales international has backed his team-mates to seal their return back to the top-flight at the first attempt.

"The aim at the start of the season was to finish in the top two and that didn't happen because we had a sticky patch," he said.

"But we know we're more than capable of going to Wembley now and getting to where we want to be.

"Derby have done well this year, but we're confident and the big pitch will suit us.

"I'm sure the lads will do the business."
