Last updated : 19 January 2011 By BBC Sport

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has said that Premier League survival has to remain the club's priority despite their progression to the FA Cup fourth round.McCarthy's side will host Stoke City in the fourth round after beating Championship side Doncaster 5-0 in Tuesday's third-round replay.

"Our number one priority is to stay in the Premier League," he told BBC WM.

"It's kind of diluted the competition somewhat but it's still the best knock-out competition."

Wolves have not been in an FA Cup final since they last won it, all the way back in 1960 when they defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-0 at Wembley.

"As you get further and further in to the competition you want to win it and you want to be at Wembley, " McCarthy said.

Wolves have the prospect of a Midlands derby in the fourth round as they welcome Stoke to Molineux on Sunday, 30 January.

"We wanted to beat Doncaster and we've done it which helps us to boost confidence and boost morale - it gives us that winning feeling," he added.
