Anthony Gerrard has put Cardiff City's FA Cup adventure at Chelsea firmly in the past and declared: "Our match with West Brom is a bigger game."

Defender Gerrard said ahead of Tuesday's promotion showdown at Cardiff City Stadium: "Chelsea was a showpiece, it brought revenue into the club and it gave the lads a chance to have a good crack at a Premier League side.

"I thought the whole team performed outstandingly well against Chelsea. But now it's back to the bread and butter, the chance to get three points and move up the league.

"We have a depleted squad but it's what the players do out on the pitch that counts. Everyone's got to pull together and do their fair share of work.

"I think highly of West Brom. They're a great footballing side and if we finish above them, we'll either have won automatic promotion or be in the play-offs.

"But we went there earlier this season and won 2-0. We were resilient at the back and played good football to get the goals. Not many teams go there and put up a display like we did, and hopefully we can replicate that at our place."

Anthony also warned West Brom to watch out for Michael Chopra, who was at the centre of controversy at The Hawthorns after clashing with keeper Scott Carson, who was sent off for head-butting the City striker.

The defender said: "Chops was a pest to Chelsea on Saturday, which I give him huge credit for. He just doesn't stop runningand if you need an outlet he's always willing to run for you, which is vital for the back four and for the team as a whole.

"When you have someone willing to put the hard yards in, then he will get huge praise from the other players."
