Premier League LIVE:West Bromwich Albion vs Manchester United: Head to head; Probable Playing XI; Match Details; WBA vs MUN Live Streaming details-
After a 9-0 thrashing of Southampton and a 3-3 draw against Everton, Manchester United will look to hit the roads again when they take on West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns Stadium in West Bromwich.
Placed second in the league table with 45 points from 23 matches, Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men are still fighting for the title with city rivals Manchester City. But to have a chance against Pep Guardiola’s men, United will have to win as many games as possible. The Red Devils are five points behind City, playing a game extra.
However, against West Brom who are fighting to avoid relegation, it will not be an easy task. Placed 19th on the league table with 12 points from 23 matches, West Brom are in danger of relegation and have everything to play for. While it could be a game to boost goal difference for United, Slaven Bilic’s men should be underestimated.
