Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion will square off in an interesting Premier League clash, with the hosts priced as 1.30 favorites by the bookmakers.
The Devils finally managed to break the deadlock against CSKA Moscow, scoring in the 77th minute after three matches which they did not find the net. It was not easy though – United was very passive, dominating possession but unable to create chances and you could see why they did not score in their previous three matches. United will look to draw confidence from the Champions League winning result, as they are 4th in the league and can not afford to lose points at home against a team like WBA.
West Brom (12th place) has been a peculiar team this season, alternating very poor performances with solid games, but one thing they did well was playing on the road – as they booked a 3-1-1 stat line away from home until now. WBA seemed to put a poor start to the season behind them as they tightened up their defense to get two 1-0 wins against Sunderland and Norwich, but that hope suffered a blow last round as West Brom lost 2-3 at home to Leicester City.

Team news & lineups:
Shaw, McNair, Valencia and Darmian will not be in United’s lineup, while Schneiderlin and Wilson are doubtful. West Brom won`t be able to count on Foster, while Brunt is doubtful.
Manchester United: De Gea – Young, Smalling, Jones, Rojo – Schweinsteiger, Carrick – Mata, Rooney, Lingard – Martial
West Bromwich Albion: Myhill – Dawson, McCauley, Evans, Brunt – McManaman, Fletcher, Yacob, McClean – Rondon, Berahino
West Brom was getting into good shape a couple of weeks ago, defending very well, but then came the 2-3 loss against Leicester. The visitors are sure to revert to that defensive mode against United, especially considering the strength of the opponents. It`s worth noting that West Bromwich Albion conceded only two goals away from home this season in 4 matches, while only scoring 3.
Manchester United will seek a win today and they really don`t care how they will get it. Looking at West Brom’s situation and considering the massive struggles that United has up front right now, it`s safe to assume that a United win to nil or a bet on the under / over market is the right choice. The team news status should also help WBA keep the game close.
My tip on this Premier League encounter will be under 2,5 goals to be scored. The last time these two teams met at Old Trafford it was a 1-0 win for West Brom less than 5 months ago. Prediction: Manchester United – West Bromwich Albion 1-0.
