The Midlands side would end the season in third place, earning manager Ron Atkinson and star midfielder Bryan Robson lucrative moves to Old Trafford several years later. - The Baggies' class of 2010 are led by another young manager making a name for himself in Roberto Di Matteo, who has taken his Championship promotion-winning side to sixth in the table and level on points with Tottenham and Arsenal. Their last outing on the road ended in a first win at Arsenal since 1983, and they are sure to head to the north west in confident mood. - Manchester United's confidence has taken a knock with a series of underwhelming performances, but they remain unbeaten and will look to a 100% home record for comfort, having beaten Newcastle, West Ham and Liverpool in their three games at Old Trafford. - The spotlight will again fall on striker Wayne Rooney, who caused a stir this week after contradicting his manager Sir Alex Ferguson's explanation that his recent absence from the United line-up was down to an ankle injury. The England striker hasn't scored a Premier League goal from open play since March.

M.E.N Prediction: United 2-0 West Brom - the Baggies shocked Arsenal, but if United focus this should be a routine win Key opponent: Scott Carson - former England stopper does have ability and is likely to be busy Skysports.com's prediction: Man United 3-1 West Brom One to watch: Dimitar Berbatov Lawro's Premier League predictions Man United 2-0 West Brom United have had a few draws haven't they? At home though, they always create a hatful of chances. Will defender Rio Ferdinand play? I think he's a great defender and very important for them. West Brom are running Blackpool close for the award for the team that play great football. I don't think they'll get a result at Old Trafford though. http://tinyurl.com/2bxr95j http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/9085639.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3283128,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/football_focus/9081564.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ --
