Red Devils too strong for the Baggies

In a game that is massive at both ends of the Premier League table, West Brom host Manchester United at the Hawthorns.

The home side are currently only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference. However, depending on results elsewhere on Saturday Alan Pardew’s side could be in the drop zone at kick-off time.

The Baggies have failed to win any of their last 15 leagues, with their only Premier League wins of the campaign coming in the first two weekends of the season.

The side from the Midlands have not been terrible form of late, though, as they have drawn four of their last five Premier League outings. Last time out, the Baggies produced a resolute defensive display to draw 0-0 at Anfield against free-scoring Liverpool.

The home side have failed to win in their last seven home games in the Premier League. However, five of those seven winless games have finished in draws.

Manchester United are seemingly in a hopeless chase of neighbours Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with the Citizens now 11 points clear of their second place rivals.

However, the Red Devils will be determined to keep going just in case Pep Guardiola’s side slip-up. United are in decent form, having won five of their last six games in the Premier League.

The visitor’s recent Premier League games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league outings.

Jose Mourinho’s team have won their last two away games in the Premier League, having previously suffered two defeats at Chelsea and Huddersfield.

This is a big game for both teams. Forebet predicts that the Red Devils to will add to West Brom’s relegation worries with a victory at the Hawthorns.
