Foster: West Brom players aware of derby importance

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster says they'll be up for the derby this weekend against Aston Villa.

Foster is looking forward to the challenge.

"I know what's at stake in these matches," said the England international to the WBA website.

"I've seen Baggies fans around the Midlands this week and they've all being telling me what we need to do - this is the one they talk about.

"There will be a lot of emotion on Saturday.

"The main feeling is that this is for the fans. It's the big one. Several months of bragging rights depend on this game.

"All hell broke loose in last year's game at Villa Park when it all went a bit crazy.

"We're at home, we will have a loud support and we will look forward to it."
