Who’s playing: Three wins in a row in all competitions – this is how Man United have been rolling lately after a series of disappointing results, which included four consecutive draws at Old Trafford in the Premier League. And now, the Red Devils are on a serious bounce-back mission in order to retain their hopes of finishing at a respectable position in the league and at least secure a Champions League spot. West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, are also riding on a series of good results, having lost only one of their last six league games [W4, D1, L1]. It will be difficult for the Red Devils to beat such an on-form side away from home (Old Trafford) but football knows no form.

Match forecast
The Baggies are a real threat to Man Utd thanks to their impressive home record. They have scored 10 goals in their last three games at home, and now face side that has been struggling to find the back of the net in the Premier League.
Both sides approach this game fresh from winning their previous league games – West Brom beat Swansea 3-1 while Man Utd had to wait for until late to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Selhurst Park last Wednesday.
But despite missing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mourinho’s men should bag all the three points here now that they have revived their hopes of entering the top four. Their rivals, the likes of Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool face difficult fixtures this weekend and a positive result for the Old Trafford outfit could mark the beginning of their resurgence in the league.
