West Brom keeper coach Kiely: Fans desperate for derby success

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeping coach Dean Kiely says they know how important the derby with Aston Villa is this weekend.

Kiely has revealed how Baggies fans have wasted little time in reminding the players about the importance of Saturday's clash.

Kiely told the WBA website: "It was amazing coming away from the game on Sunday (at Liverpool) and people were saying great win, brilliant result - but with the little caveat 'make sure you beat the Villa now!'

"And it was like 'hang on let's just enjoy the victory today'."

He added: "It depends on what generation you are as to what is the biggest derby.

"I was brought up in the 80s so for me West Brom-Villa is the biggest.

"As far as the Black Country goes West Brom-Wolves is the big one.

"But you can add gravity to all those situations."
