This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Manchester United holding 14th place and West Bromwich Albion lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Manchester United form and stats
Manchester United, who have the most conceded goals (10) at home in Premier League, have collected 1 point from their Premier League home games so far after 0-1-3.
Happy days for Manchester in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Everton (placed 7th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Istanbul Basaksehir (1-2).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Manchester as they have a new game in only three days, a Champions League match thankfully also at home. Istanbul Basaksehir are visiting.
Manchester have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Manchester have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Old Trafford.
West Bromwich Albion form and stats
As the visiting team in Premier League matches, West Bromwich Albion, who have the the worst goal difference (-11) in Premier League, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for WBA, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Derby County game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
WBA have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 187 minutes ago. K. Ahearne-Grant was the goal scorer.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Tottenham Hotspur with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fulham wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The opposition has been scoring high and low on WBA's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Manchester United four wins, two draws and West Bromwich Albion four victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
