League status and league form should go out of the window for this tie as Premier League, Wolves. Take on Championship side, Birmingham. The Midlands derby will be a fierce encounter with the home side Wolves will be keen to win their first game of 2012. Meanwhile, Birmingham will hope the goals will come again after their 6-0 demoltion over Millwall at The Den on Saturday. The fixture that was only a Premier League game last season shall throw up some thrills and spills and may show a real example of the 'Magic of the Fa Cup'.
Mick Mccarthy will rest star striker, Stephen Fletcher for tonight's fixture meaning Slyvan Ebanks-Blake should start up front with Irish forward, Kevin Doyle. Meanwhile Kevin Foley, Dave Edwards and Roger Johnson will all miss out due to injury. Chris Hughton should shuffle his squad following the 6-0 success at Millwall, meaning winger, Wade Elliot will return to the side after being benched at The Den. Defender Pablo Ibanez will also return following a knee injury.
My Prediction: Wolves 2-0 Birmingham.
