Jerome - Cup can cheer Blues

Blues saw an unbeaten run of five matches in all competitions come to an end on Tuesday when they slipped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle.

The Barclays Premier League takes a backseat now, though, as npower League One side Wednesday head to St Andrew's before Arsenal await at Wembley next weekend.

"We've got a break from the league now with the FA Cup and we've got the big one at Wembley the week after," Jerome said.

"On Saturday hopefully we can put in a good performance and pick up a bit of confidence for the cup final.

"As long as we get this hangover out of our system, sooner rather than later, we can go into the cup final with a smile on our face and to do ourselves proud."
