'We need to go to Coventry with belief'

West Bromwich Albion boss Ryan Mason says he does not want his team to be overawed by league leaders Coventry City when they meet on Saturday (12:30 GMT).

The Sky Blues are five points clear at the top of the league having scored 40 goals this season, 14 more than any other Championship side.

However, while Mason says he is "fully aware of the moment" Coventry are in, he does not want his side to go into the game without believing they can claim victory.

"You can show teams too much respect," Mason told BBC Radio WM.

"There's many different psychological aspects that come into that and that's certainly not traits we want our team to show. We know our strengths, we know we can hurt teams and we need try and do that tomorrow.

"We need to approach tomorrow's game with belief and that's what we will do."

However, that does not mean the 34-year-old does not hold a lot of admiration for his fellow former midfielder, Sky Blues boss Frank Lampard.

"I think any English midfielder not just respected but admired his [Lampard's] playing career," Mason added. "One of the very best without a doubt.

"But that's one chapter, that's one career. I have been equally as impressed with his managerial career.

"He's done a fantastic job so far. He built a lot of momentum last season and they've carried it on."

In positive news for the Baggies squad, centre-back George Campbell has returned to training and is likely to make a comeback in the next few games.
