Manchester United vs West Bromwich Albion – Manchester United hosts West Bromwich Albion at the Old Trafford on 15th April, Sunday in an English Premier League fixture.

Manchester United are second in the league standings with seventy-one points and are still in the race for the Premier League title. In spite of Manchester City’s 3-1 win at Tottenham yesterday, a win for Jose Mourinho’s side will postpone City’s title win for yet another game.

West Bromwich Albion, sitting deep in the relegation zone in the twentieth position with twenty-one points drew 1-1 against Swansea City in their last game after losing five matches on the trot.

“I think it’s a dangerous week for us, because we come from a very good result, and also I think a few consecutive victories in the Premier League, so our moment is good, playing against a team that is still fighting, and they will fight until mathematically it’s not possible.

I think it’s a dangerous match, but probably what happened this week in the football world maybe opened the eyes for everyone that, in football, anything is possible.”

– Jose Mourinho, Manchester United.
