Wolves skipper Henry warns Stoke: Derby will be ugly

Wolves skipper Karl Henry is expecting an ugly affair against Stoke City.

Henry has warned FA Cup finalists Stoke he is looking forward to an "ugly match" when they clash in the Barclays Premier League.

Mick McCarthy's side are battling to escape from the bottom three and Henry said: "Everyone hates playing Stoke and going there but we are going to relish it.

"I'm sure it's going to be a really dirty game. It's going to be an ugly, dirty match. Both teams will be kicking lumps out of each other. But you won't find us complaining."

Henry added: "People are starting to give (Stoke boss) Tony Pulis the respect he deserves. It's not easy to win games and for years people have come up with different ways of doing it. Barcelona do it their way, Blackpool theirs and Stoke theirs. They are horrible to play against and that's credit to him (Pulis). But we need to play every game from here on in as if it is our last."
