After an eventful midweek clashes in the league cup it is back to premier league fun again. This week sees Manchester United host West Brom at Old Trafford. The last time these two teams met it resulted in an astounding 5-5 draw with United throwing away their lead a whopping three times in the game. Despite the exciting the scoreline what the game is really remembered for is it was the last game Sir Alex Ferguson played as a manager for Manchester United.
Much has changed since the draw at hawthorns and currently the form that the Albions are in it would a sheer miracle if they manage to walk away with anything from old Trafford. To make matters worse West Brom were defeated midweek against a young Arsenal Squad despite fielding the first team and Manchester United are the wounded tigers this weekend after the Embarrassment at Etihad last week. Moyes would want nothing but a dominating victory on the part of the Red Devils to get back on track in the premier league.West Brom on the other hand would be hoping to capitalize on United's Shaky start to this Season.
