Albion defender Jonas Olsson is keeping his fingers crossed the Baggies can find a winner against Newcastle in the FA Cup fourth round this Saturday (KO 3pm). The Baggies and Magpies have played out two competitive draws in the league this season with Olsson hoping it’s third time lucky against their promotion rivals.
The Baggies have led United three times in their two games this season courtesy of strikes from Robert Koren, Roman Bednar and Olsson himself; however have yet to find a winning formula against Chris Hughton’s men.
"We have played Newcastle twice this season and deserved to win both so hopefully we can get them on Saturday and hopefully have a good cup run," said the giant Swede.
"It's always nice to have that.
"A lot of our players haven't played at Wembley.
"There is still a long way to go but it's something that you dream of and something that makes you focus on it and really take those games seriously."
