Said Dowie to the club website: "First and foremost we're delighted to be drawn at home for a second successive tie. "I think the fact that West Brom are such big local rivals will add a lot of spice to the fixture.
"It's honours even this season as far as league fixtures go and we have to ensure that we put in the kind of level of performance that we did at the Hawthorns to try and progress to the quarter-finals."
Baggies boss Tony Mowbray admitted he was disappointed with the draw saying: "A Premier League club or a lower league club would have been more preferable. "I prefer to play teams who are not from our division, but we would have done well to do that with there being another seven of them in the draw."
