Just three 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 game of 2026.
After the disappointment of last Sunday’s late postponement against Burnley, Dan McNamara’s side will kick-off the New Year at the SEAH Stadium with the aim of making it to the last four of the FA WNL Cup.
The Baggies also haven’t played since our last meeting and will be looking to avenge the three goals scored by Anna Morphet, Amber Hughes and Amy Sims at the Alexander Stadium.
