PETER Odemwingie is aiming for another dose of derby glory when Albion visit Villa this Saturday.
The Baggies travel to their nearest geographical rivals hoping for their first league success on Villa territory since May 1979.
Odemwingie is still on a high following his excellent display against Wolves, when he came off the bench to score Albion’s second goal.
The Nigerian said: “It would be great to make it a double. Every situation is a chance to do something that will be remembered.
“We have a very tough game but we need points and we’re at the moment where we have two big derbies in a row, then Arsenal and Liverpool.
“It’s a very hard period but it’s a period where three points feels like six, so I think that will help motivate us.”
Odemwingie was benched in favour of Somen Tchoyi for Sunday’s 2-0 win against Wolves.
He was not unduly surprised.
“He (Roy Hodgson) spoke to me before and said he had been preparing a team for the last week or two now with Somen Tchoyi up front,” he continued.
“He is a quality player who can deliver for us as well.
“The manager said he wasn’t sure from Monday that I would play in this game because I only trained on Friday with the team because I came back with a little bit of a cough and cold and didn’t train for five days.
“He gave me his reasons and said he was sure I would come in.
“I was disappointed because this is a game you want to play in because if you do well for the club and for the fans you are ‘the man’.
