Wolves dream of FA Cup glory
Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo says he and side will 'go for it' in the FA Cup, having reached the last eight of the competition at the expense of Bristol City.
An Ivan Cavaleiro goal proved to be enough to secure a 1-0 victory at Ashton Gate on Sunday, with Nuno proud of the way his players stuck to their task as their Championship hosts piled on the pressure in the second half.
We really appreciate this competition and we go for it, of course.

He told reporters: "I thought we played really well in the first half, building, creating chances, scoring. The second half, we had to hold on to what we had.
"It is very difficult to defend against such a very good team and we had to be brave.
"I am very happy because we have achieved something very positive for us. It is a tough stadium to come to and take away something. We really appreciate this competition and we go for it, of course."
The thoughts of the Wolves boss were echoed by striker Raul Jimenez, who told the club's official website: "Well, we have to dream.
"We know that it is difficult and we have to wait now to see which team we are going to be against, but we have to dream."
Wolves are now priced at 13/2 to lift the FA Cup this season, with Manchester City 1/1 and Watford 12/1.
The men from Molineux have won the FA Cup on four occasions, the last of which came in 1960, when they defeated Blackburn Rovers in the Wembley final.
