WHITE-HOT HAWTHORNS

DARREN MOORE has promised local rivals Aston Villa a “white-hot” reception tonight.

The Championship’s leading scoring sides clash in a televised West Midlands derby at the nearly sold out, 27,000-capacity Hawthorns.

Baggies boss Moore said: “I don’t need to say much to the fans – because I know what the game means to them. They’ll be in here in full voice and make it a white-hot atmosphere.

“James Morrison, Chris Brunt and Boaz Myhill in the squad will let the players know what these types of games are all about.”
