West Brom captain Darren Fletcher has urged his side to create an FA Cup legacy as he eyes a second winners' medal.
The Scotland midfielder also wants to extend their cup run at Peterborough on Wednesday to help address their poor Premier League form, with Albion going to London Road for their fourth-round replay having won just twice in their last 12 league games.
Reading await the winners in the fifth round as the sides do battle again following a 2-2 draw at The Hawthorns which saw Posh score twice in the final 11 minutes.
Fletcher won the trophy with Manchester United in 2004 and has targeted lifting the FA Cup again with the Baggies.
He said: "Our target is to get to Wembley. At that stage anything can happen.

"The history of the competition is evident at the club. We had a day last year for Jeff Astle, which brought up a lot of FA Cup memories for the supporters. Well, let's go out there and create new memories for people that will be remembered for years to come.
"The FA Cup means a lot to me. It was the very first trophy I won. I've had the disappointment of losing two finals - we battered Arsenal in 2005 but lost on penalties and then we played in a dull final against Chelsea where we lost by the odd goal.
"This is a massive game for us. The players are desperate to stay in the cup. We know our form hasn't been great in the league but we want a big cup run."
