Peterborough United manager Graham Westley says that his team will have to be at their very best to pull off an FA Cup upset when they host West Brom tonight.

Posh managed to bag themselves a televised replay after they held the Premier League side to a 2-2 draw in the original tie at the Hawthorns last month.

The last time that Peterborough overcame a top flight side in the FA Cup was way back in 1965 when Arsenal were beaten at London Road.

The current generation will be backed by a big crowd at the ABAX Stadium tonight, and Westley is hoping that his team can deliver.
