Bull convinced Wolves can beat West Brom

Wolves legend Steve Bull is convinced they will beat West Bromwich Albion in today's derby.

Bull believes there has never been a better opportunity to put ­Albion firmly in their sights.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "Some people might have been thinking there were only four teams fighting for survival, but as many as seven could still be involved in it.

"This is a big weekend to see what happens next.

"If we can beat Albion we are just two points behind them, which means only one game to turn the gap around ­completely, so this is a big encounter for both clubs.

"As a derby it will have all the ­elements of the fans who have their local pride, but for the players it has to be all about three points because of the bigger ­picture.

"I know some people have been ­disappointed with the season so far, which has been very mixed. I could say we've not had a lot of luck, but everybody can claim that and the truth is we didn't expect to be in the bottom four at this time, but we are.

"In truth, I don't think that's so bad for what Wolves have spent and what they are doing - but the key thing is we have hard workers on the pitch who are capable of lifting us clear."
