Sunday afternoon’s Premier League action kicks off at the Hawthorns where West Bromwich Albion take on Manchester United.

The hosts go in to the game after picking up an impressive point from their midweek visit to Anfield though the result did extend their winless league run to fifteen games.

A return to winning ways would see them climb out of the relegation zone at the expense of Stoke City – the side they face next weekend.

Matt Phillips and Gareth Barry could both return after recovering from respective hamstring and thigh injuries though Nacer Chadli, Craig Dawson and James Morrison miss out.

Salomon Rondon is priced at 10.0 (9/1) to open the scoring with William Hill ahead of James McClean who is a 21.0 (20/1) chance with the same firm.

The home win is as highly priced as the 6.45 (60/11) on offer from Unibet, who have the draw at 4.05 (58/11) while the visitors can be backed at 1.62 (8/13) with a number of firms.

Jose Mourinho’s men bounced back from their derby day defeat a week ago with a narrow win over Bournemouth on Wednesday evening.

Another victory here would see them close the gap between themselves and Manchester City back to eleven points, after the league leaders continued their record-breaking winning run with a win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Defender Eric Bailly has been ruled out for up to three months with an ankle injury and Paul Pogba serves the final game of his suspension though Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini could both feature after recovering from respective head and knee problems.

Romelu Lukaku, who netted for the first time in five league games midweek is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.5 (7/2) with several bookmakers with Marcus Rashford widely available at a price of 5.5 (9/2).

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended in a 2-0 win for the Red Devils, before the sides canceled each other out in the Midlands on April Fools Day.

You can back an away win to nil this time around at a price of 2.38 (11/8) with a number of companies.
