Manchester United vs West Brom: How to live stream, venue, who will win and all the pre-buzz around the Premier League clash
With the Premier League returning after two weeks following a second international break, all eyes will be on the inconsistent Manchester United as they take on a bottom-placed West Brom to resurrect their wobbly campaign. With three wins from seven games, the Red Devils are placed 14th on the points table and will be keen on toppling West Brom to break into the Top 10. They come into this fixture with a 3-1 win against Everton with Bruno Fernandes's brace and Edinson Cavani's first goal in the red jersey taking them home.
West Brom has been dismal so far and is still searching for their elusive first win after eight games. They face United after losing back-to-back games against Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur.

Pre-buzz around the game
Alex Telles has tested negative for coronavirus and that will be a major boost for United. He was instrumental in the Red Devils' Champions League win against Paris Saint-Germain and his return will augur well for Solskjaer as the side will now have a busy schedule with West Brom, followed by their Champions League game against Istanbul Basaksehir and back to the Premier League against Southampton.
At the other end, there might be concerns at the West Brom as there are reports concerning his future with the side. According to Birmingham Live, Slaven Bilic's future is under pressure as the side has had a winless journey so far in the league. Although former manager Darren Moore is optimistic the club can turn things around. "For me, watching them and being a former manager there, they’re not far away, they’re really not far away," he told the site.
"I know they’ve not won in eight but from when I look at it, they've been a whisker away from some good results."
Who will win?
This one is United's game to lose. Expect the Red Devils to put up a dominating performance and notch up three points.
