MATTY Phillips expects The Hawthorns to be “rocking” when Albion host Aston Villa on Friday night (ko 8pm).
It is the Baggies’ first meeting with the Villans in almost three years, with both sides now in a rich vein of form at the top end of the Sky Bet Championship.
Darren Moore’s men remain the league’s highest scorers with 42 - but Villa are hot on his side’s heels on 39.
And Phillips admits all the ingredients are in situ for a memorable local derby.
“I’m excited and I’m sure The Hawthorns will be rocking,” he said.
