Manchester United vs West Brom (Premier League): Manchester United secured an impressive win over Everton at Goodison Park last time out to ease the pressure on their beleaguered boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

But despite the victory, United go into the weekend clash against West Brom, looking for their first home win of the season.
