West Brom striker Osaze Odemwingie says
the 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday makes their journey to
Manchester City on Wednesday (today) easy, however. He warns that the
match against title contenders will be a tough one.
“It will be an interesting game because
we want to continue enjoying our season. To make our season even better
it would be nice to get some points against one of the big teams.
“I’m happy that now we can go to Man
City more relaxed, because if we hadn’t got the result on against Rovers
last Saturday, it would not have been easy travelling there, knowing
how good they are.”
The Nigerian striker is also looking to use the Wednesday’s trip as a barometer for how far Albion have progressed this term.
Odemwingie is eager to pits his wits
against the Barclays Premier League title contenders, acknowledging
victory for City is vital if they are to have any chance of closing the
eight-point gap on leaders Manchester United over the last six games.
But he also believes the Etihad Stadium
encounter presents the 13th-placed Baggies with the chance to express
themselves after taking a big stride towards safety with the Saturday’s
win.
“Sometimes we play and we look like a top Premier League side,” said Odemwingie.
“We need to do that more often. It’s an
opportunity for us to play against a top side and see where we’re at.
It’s more difficult away and they may be more desperate for points than
they were on Boxing Day.
“We now have more confidence and we’re more relaxed. Hopefully that will help us perform against City.”
