Manchester United are unbeaten in nine Premier League visits to the Hawthorns. Given this season of high unpredictability, the Reds still have an outside chance of claiming the title. They are ten points behind Leicester City as West Bromwich Albion welcomes them, having won their past three matches. Tony Pulis has lost 11 of his 13 Premier League games against Manchester United.
West Bromwich might be able to stop United from grabbing their fifth consecutive win, also having the home advantage. Hawthorns’ striker, Salomon Rondon has scored in three of his last five Premier League games. That being said that, Louis van Gaal’s side has won just one of their last seven Premier League away games.
Here we take a look at some of the potential key battles in the game.
- Dailey Blind vs Salomon Rondon
Blind has been an almost ideal replacement for Smalling and Jones. Being able to intercept with total awareness at the centre-back position, he has been able to make a great impact in the game and has been able to deny many incoming attacks.
On the other hand, Rondon is getting in a momentum of scoring goals, netting thrice in the last five League games and being difficult to be handled by the opposition defenders.
It’ll surely be exciting how these two players turn up against each other.
