West Bromwich Albion will host Manchester United at The Hawthorns, with each of these two teams currently traversing a passage of good form in the Premier League.
WBA is on the back of a 2-2 road draw against Leicester, a good result and a good performance – even if, in all honesty, Leicester was unlucky not to claim the three points. It was the third consecutive game without a loss for West Brom, after they previously defeated Crystal Palace and Everton. The hosts are currently undefeated in the last 7 home games, their last loss dating back to mid December.
Man United is riding a four match winning streak, most recently defeating Arsenal 3-2 and Watford 1-0, despite playing with a weakened lineup. There`s already talk about a rejuvenated United, but the visitors still have much more to prove. Fact is that the recent wins were somewhat circumstancial and United definitely did not play great. Victories against Shrewsbury and Midtjylland were expected. Then followed Arsenal, which played one of its worst matches of the season, while Watford was inches away from getting a deserved draw last round – until a Mata free kick saved United late on.

Team news & lineups:
McManaman, Brunt, Morrison and possibly Evans will be out for West Brom. The visitors continue to struggle with injuries, as they won`t be able to count on Rooney, Schweinsteiger, Shaw, Young, Jones, Fellaini, Valencia, Love and Keane, while Smalling and Borthwick-Jackson are doubtful.
West Brom: Foster – Dawson, McAuley, Olsson, Chester – Yacob, Fletcher, Sessegnon Gardner – Berahino – Rondon
Man United: De Gea – Varela, Blind, Rojo, Darmian – Schneiderlin, Herrera – Martial, Mata, Depay – Rashford
The visitors could have easily lost last round against Watford, a team that missed a number of golden chances in that game. Manchester United scraped an undeserved win, but they are still far from their best and do not offer an element of trust, which the misleading 4 game winning run might suggest.
With WBA not losing in the last 7 home games and United winning just one of the last 7 away Premier League games, this will be a very difficult match for the Devils, who continue to miss a lot of key players.
Manchester United still has plenty of problems to work out and I wouldn`t be surprised if they will revert to their losing ways at The Hawthorns. I do not expect Man United to win, so my tip is West Brom to cover the 0,5 handicap. Odds are definitely very good and are going down. Prediction: West Bromwich Albion – Manchester United 1-1.
