West Brom will come into this match in 17th place in the table on goal difference, but they will have added confidence after getting a point away to Liverpool on Wednesday night. Thye might just feel they can do so again at home to United. United, on the other hand, are in second place in the table on 38 points. They remain 11 points behind City and are just four ahead of Chelsea. Thye must keep their heads down to ensure they remain ahead of the Blues.
West Brom have had little luck of late at home, and that has seen them fall all the way to 19th place in the league at home. They have just eight points from eight matches with only one win in there. Draws are nice, but they aren't very nice at home, and it's causing them to be sucked into a relegation battle. As for Manchester United, they will come into this match with a record of four wins, two draws, and two losses in eight matches away. That is a total of 14 points, which is great but has them well behind Manchester City- accounting for their gap to the top.
A no for both teams to score is set at 7/10.
Manchester United have dropped the ball a few times away from home this season, but this match in the Midlands is not likely to be one of them. The Baggies are low on confidence, and that will shine through.
Alan Pardew has injuries that are keeping winger Nacer Chadli, right back Craig Dawson, and center midfielder James Morrison out of action, but each should be back soon for them to help in this festive period.
Two old Manchester United boys might just prove to be the key to the Baggies getting a result here or not. Goalkeeper Ben Foster and center back Jonny Evans have been two of their best players for quite a while now, and when they are in your side you always have a chance to keep a clean sheet- no matter how difficult the opponent. Both will have his work cut out for him against United, but they each have that added motivation to show well against their former club.
West Brom have four draws and a loss in their last five matches:
0-0 draw at Liverpool
1-0 loss at Swansea
0-0 home draw vs Crystal Palace
2-2 home draw vs Newcastle
1-1 draw at Spurs
Goalkeeper:Foster
Defenders:Nyom, Hegazi, Evans, Gibbs
Midfielders:Livermore, Yacob, Brunt

Jose Mourinho will be without center midfielders Michel Carrick (injury) and Paul Pogba (suspension) for this match. Center back Eric Bailly remains out while Marouane Fellaini has still yet to return.
Striker Romelu Lukaku had quite the game on Wednesday night. Not only did he score the winner in the narrow win at home to Bournemouth but he also was the center of controversy. He could have been set off, according to many, but instead he was the hero in the end for the Red Devils as they got the job done against the Cherries. That is what he was bought for- those tough 1-0 matches- and he could prove useful against a suddenly stubborn Baggies side at Old Trafford.
United have four wins and a loss in their last five matches:
1-0 home win vs Bournemouth
1-2 home loss vs Manchester City
2-1 home win vs CSKA Moscow (UCL)
