David Moyes would look forward to today’s match at Old Trafford against West Brom to restore pride, after they were thumped by arch-rivals Manchester City last week.
The Premier League tie would be crucial for Manchester United, although they had won their League Cup mid week tie against Liverpool, as they are lagging behind other bid teams at the top half of the table. They are currently placed 8th with just 7 points, their worst start in many years.
West Browich Albion would surely start the match as the underdogs. They are currently paced 15th in the league table. A point from Old Trafford would surely boost the minnows’ confidence.
Let’s have a look at what stats preview offer for Manchester United vs West Bromwich Albion
- West Brom have never beaten Manchester United in the Premier League (D3, L11).
- The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 18 league games against the Baggies, whose last win in this fixture was 2-0 at The Hawthorns in March 1984.
- Defeat on Saturday would leave United with their lowest ever points tally after six games of a Premier League season and would represent their worst top-flight start since 1989-90.
- A draw would make this the Red Devils’ poorest start since 2002-03. That season they claimed eight points from their opening six games but still went on to win the title.
- The 4-1 defeat by Manchester City was the first time the Red Devils have lost a league or cup game by more than one goal since a 3-0 loss at Newcastle in January 2012.
- Michael Carrick has made 26 interceptions this season, eight more than any other Premier League player.
- Victory against Sunderland last weekend gave the Baggies their first victory in nine league games (W1, D3, L5).
- Stephane Sessegnon became only the third player to score on his Premier League debut in a match against the club they had just left. The other two were Ipswich’s Ian Marshall (against Oldham in 1993) and Sunderland’s Stern John (versus Birmingham in 2007).
- Three of Albion’s four league goals this season have arrived in the final 15 minutes of matches.
