The problem is I think WBA will be thinking the exactly same thing, they are likely to be well safe from relegation, so may well feel that a cup run gives them a chance of European football next year. Most other Prem sides don't really start taking this competition seriously now until at least the 5th or 6th round, so WBA may have a sniff of a Wembley Semi final in their thoughts, if not the big day out itself.
