Wolves’ FA Cup quarterfinal matchup with Coventry City, Paul Merson fires a warning shot

When Coventry City hosts Championship side Wolves in the FA Cup quarterfinal on Saturday, Paul Merson is adamant that Wolves will “pay” if they display any symptoms of complacency.

Unsurprisingly, though, the former England and Arsenal midfielder is supporting Wanderers to easily defeat the Sky Blues and secure a spot at Wembley in the competition’s last four.

In his predictions for the big FA Cup weekend on sportsskeeda.com, he stated, “This is a good game and a Midlands derby.” “Wolves has home advantage, so I have to pick them, but it’s crucial that they play with the proper mindset. Coventry, being a respectable team, will make them pay if they believe, as they should, that “we are only up against a Championship team, so we can win it.”

Having said that, Coventry’s primary goal for the upcoming season is to return to the Premier League. They intend to return to Wembley, where they attended the Championship play-offs the previous season.

“For Wolves, though, this is a huge football game,” he continued. They must win this match, and it would be an incredibly incredible accomplishment if they advanced to the semifinals.

“Gary O’Neill makes an excellent manager.” It is a remarkable accomplishment for him to enter the club at this time and perform as he has. I think he won’t be far from landing an even better position.
