West Brom shocked Manchester United last September when they clinched a win at Old Trafford, but they were not the only Premier League team to grab points at the Red Devils this season. Moreover, West Brom had a terrible stretch since that glorious 2-1 success, winning just two games out of 21. That led to the appointment of a new manager, Pepe Mel, in an attempt to rescue the team from relegation. West Brom are just one point above the relegation zone at the moment but 18th-placed Sunderland have a game in hand.
Manchester United are having a terrible season as well, sitting seventh in the table at the moment. The Red Devils grabbed just five points out of their last four league matches. The visitors will welcome Juan Mata back into the starting eleven after he was ineligible for the Champions League match at Olympiakos, but Chicharito Hernandez will most likely be out of contention due to a knee injury he has suffered while on international duty with Mexico.
West Brom will be without striker Nicolas Anelka for Saturday's match, still under club suspension after a controversial gesture. Last season's match at the Hawthorns was a goal-crazy contest, but Manchester United were already crowned champions and wanted to give Sir Alex Ferguson a nice goodbye match. The Red Devils were leading 5-2 with 10 minutes left but the Baggies performed a miracle, hitting back to make it five apiece.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
West Brom win - 4/1
Draw - 13/5
Manchester United win - 5/6
