Live Stream: Watch West Brom vs Manchester United live online

Manchester United travel to the Hawthorns for a vital Premier League encounter with West Bromwich Albion this weekend.

The Old Trafford outfit are level on points with title chasers Manchester City after a stunning late win against Watford earlier this week and Van Gaal will look to build on that and get closer to the fourth and final Champions League spot.

Juan Mata’s late free kick earned Manchester United a priceless 1-0 win over Watford at Old Trafford yesterday night.

As for West Brom, Tony Pulis did his best to dent Leicester City’s title hopes after a 2-2 draw at the King Power stadium earlier this week. Ranieri will be relieved with the fact that City, Arsenal and Spurs all dropped points this week.

West Brom have shown that they are good enough to stifle the top teams in the division and will look to play out a cagey game against Manchester United. Neither side have been particularly sharp going forward and it will be interesting to see which side takes their chances in a game of few opportunities.
