Host commentator

West Brom have struggled for goals this season having scored just 18 from their 23 league matches. Brazilian attacker Matheus Pereira is currently the team’s top goalscorer with five to his name, with four of those coming in 2021.
While it remains a bleak outlook for the Baggies, potential game winners like Pereira need to start stepping up now if they want to fight relegation.

Bruno Fernandes has been his usual clinical self this season and remains the catalyst for everything good about Manchester United in attack.
The midfielder has 13 goals and nine assists in 23 Premier League matches this season and will want to replicate his performance from last time against West Brom, where he scored in United’s 1-0 win.
He has also netted in both of the Red Devils’ last two league games, can he continue that hot streak against the league’s leakiest defence?






West Brom XI: Johnstone, Peltier, Ajayi, Bartley (c), Townsend, Yokuslu, Gallagher, Maitland-Niles, Snodgrass, Diagne, Pereira.
