Manchester United have at least one game in hand on all of the Premier League teams above them in the table, with Jose Mourinho’s side looking to continue their recent good form with another win.
West Brom are flying high in eighth place, but their form has been patchy recently. After losing easily to both Crystal Palace and Everton, the Baggies did manage to follow up those results with a 3-1 win over Arsenal to put more pressure on Arsene Wenger.
Only three victories away from the Hawthorns leaves Tony Pulis with a lot to do this weekend, with Man United fighting well on all fronts. The Red Devils haven’t lost during their last 18 league games, with this impressive run finally lifting them out of sixth.
West Brom have conceded 10 goals in their last four away outings in the Premier League, with trips to face West Ham and Middlesbrough within that period. If the Baggies have any aspirations of a top six finish, they need to make up a seven-point gap on Everton.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ander Herrera are both out due to suspension for the hosts, with Paul Pogba, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones coming out of the international break still carrying injuries to leave Mourinho thin on options.
Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial should get starts, with West Brom having less selection trouble. The visitors are likely to pack the midfield and leave Salomon Rondon battling alone up front.
