Big Match Breakdown: West Brom v Man United

The midfielder was still playing in a second pivot role but seemed to have more license to break forward. Mourinho may well be tempted to play him in a more advanced role.

Anthony Martial, Juan Mata, and Marcus Rashford will battle it out for positions in the front line.

Albion caretaker manager Darren Moore could have Jonny Evans and Nacer Chadli back in action after lay-offs. However, Daniel Sturridge and Gareth Barry look likely to miss out again.

Key Battles

The Baggies will probably allow United to have the ball and play on the counter. So Mourinho’s defence will need to cut out the errors that blighted the first half against City last week.

But this is more than likely going to be a game of defence against attack as Man United look to guarantee their place in the top-four.

Can the Baggies’ backline keep Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez quiet? If Jonny Evans plays – and he’ll be desperate to do so against his former side – then he’ll need to marshall the defence in an inspirational manner.

Match Odds

West Brom are a massive 18/1 to take all three points at Old Trafford. Man United 1/5, with the draw available at 11/2.

Mourinho’s outfit will be buzzing from their win over their city rivals last week and will see Albion as potential cannon fodder here.

The Baggies have little to lose and should go for it, relatively speaking. Can we expect an attacking game and goals? Over 3.5 Goals is 8/5. Man United to Win and Over 3.5 Goals is also 9/5.

Belgian international Lukaku has got five goals in eight career appearances against Albion. He’s 11/4 to be First Goalscorer and 4/5 to find the net Anytime.
