Manchester United vs West Brom<\/span><\/b>
Time<\/span><\/b> \u2013 India: 01:30 AM (Sunday); UK: 08:00 PM (Saturday)<\/span>
Venue<\/span><\/b>: Old Trafford<\/span>
Referee<\/span><\/b>: David Coote<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United went into the break on the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park. It helped them to recover from two poor losses to Arsenal in the league and to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Europa League. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

But ahead of facing relegation candidates West Brom on Saturday evening, the Red Devils are still without a home win in the league.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

While they are unbeaten away from home in the league since a defeat at Liverpool in January, their home form must improve and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side have earned just one Premier League<\/a> point from four games this season at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The good news for Manchester United<\/a> is that they will be facing West Brom<\/a>, who are yet to win in the league this season and have three points from their opening eight games. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

They are early candidates to get relegated from the Premier League this term and are in desperate search of some inspiration from somewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United vs West Brom: Head-to-Head<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n

Total games<\/strong> \u2013 100<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United wins<\/strong> \u2013 56<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

West Brom wins<\/strong> \u2013 44<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Draws<\/strong> \u2013 32<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United have a superior record over West Brom overall since their first meeting in October 1892, in a League Division One game.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The Premier League giants\u2019 recent record against the Baggies have been indifferent and their home record should particularly worry Solskjaer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United have failed to beat West Brom in their last two meetings at Old Trafford with the Baggies actually beating the Red Devils 1-0 in April 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United vs West Brom: Recent form<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n

Manchester United<\/strong>: W-L-L-W-D<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

West Brom<\/strong>: L-L-D-D-L<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United won at Everton ahead of the international break but their form has been indifferent and inconsistent. What should worry their fans is their home form in the league which has seen them win just one point from four games at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

West Brom are still searching for their first win back in the Premier League and have just three draws in their opening eight league games. They went into the international break on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Tottenham.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Manchester United vs West Brom: Team news<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n

Manchester United<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a few worries ahead of West Brom\u2019s visit on Saturday. Marcus Rashford has been carrying a knock and is doubtful for the game. The same goes for Victor Lindelof, who is nursing a back injury, and Mason Greenwood, who returned to training this week after being unwell.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
