Clough excited by Midlands cup tie

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.Birmingham are eighth in the top flight and have not lost a game since they were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal on October 17."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."However, it's a very good tie for the football club. It's a Premier League club and it's a home draw."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."
