West Brom 1 Manchester United 2 Watch highlights 1/1/11
This season opened up in somewhat ominous expectations for West Brom and Manchester United after champions Chelsea steamrollered all over West Brom on the opening day with a 6-0 demolition of the midlanders leaving them with bleak visions of the oncoming season along with ones for Manchester United trying to wrestle back the dominance of the English game this season. Now, 4 months and more on and halfway through the season, the picture is far more rosey for Manchester United. Unbeaten in the league and sitting pretty at the the top of the table on goal difference at the moment over rivals, Manchester City and Chelsea have had a very rough ride since the first couple of months where they were in cruise control.
West Brom also have ample cause to feel more perky about the remainder of the season with a string of fine results against strong opposition. Draws against Tottenham before beating Birmingham, Manchester City and Arsenal then holding United to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford was their peak. However, their form lately has been dour of late, with only 2 wins in their last 10 games and boss, Di Matteo has had to struggle on whilst his squad has been ravaged by a lengthy list of players in recent times. Chris Brunt returns from a ban to face United, Gabriel Tamas and Gonzalo Jara are suspended.
