Bruised United Need To Keep Going
Romelu Lukaku scored a hat-trick in this fixture for WBA when it ended 5-5 in Ferguson's final match.
Since Alan Pardew replaced Tony Pulis with the presumed mandate of bringing more exciting football, West Brom’s results have been 0-0, 0-1 and 0-0.
An improved home defence but with no goals scored brings us to a Man United 1-0 win on Sunday at a best price of 11/2 with WilliamHill.
That scoreline has always been a Mourinho favourite, though less so this season, they still recorded their 4th one of the campaign on Wednesday night against Bournemouth.
They looked injured by the derby defeat, and they really miss Pogba, but the United defence is good enough to pick up regular clean sheets against more limited opponents. All they can realistically do is keeping picking up three points and accept that City are taking all the plaudits.
