Team News

  • It was confirmed earlier this week that Billy Jones is likely to be missing for up to four weeks with a hamstring injury.
  • Claudio Yacob has been absent for a few weeks now but stands a good chance of returning to action to face Manchester United.
  • Stephane Sessegnon missed the 1-1 draw with Fulham last week but will be available here.
  • Diego Lugano picked up a knee injury on international duty and be out for up to a month, while Brunt and Morrison are doubts.
  • Robin van Persie is fit to start after overcoming illness to play for Netherlands in midweek.
  • Jonny Evans, Rafael and Phil Jones could all be in line for a return, significantly bolstering United's options in defence.
  • Nani remains absent while Javier Hernandez is out for an indefinite period after injuring his knee on international duty.

Prediction


  • Manchester United won for the first time in 4 games when they beat Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League, but have since lost to Olympiakos and their confidence will be shaken once again.
  • West Brom, meanwhile, are without a win in 7 league matches and have slipped to within a point of the relegation zone. 4 successive 1-1 draws at home have been decent results given that they have hosted the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton, but they need to end their winless streak soon if they are to avoid the drop.
  • The Baggies sprung a surprise by winning at Old Trafford earlier in the season, but as unlikely as that was, they probably won't manage to stop a United side desperate for points.
