  • Chris Smalling celebrates scoring United's winner at City.

    Manchester United will face West Brom in the Premier League on Sunday, with an objective to get all three points.

    Jose Mourinho‘s side are just 16 points behind leaders Manchester City but will look to continue on their winning form.

    Here, we take a look at some key stats and facts as the Red Devils host caretaker Darren Moore’s side.

    – After winning 85% of their opening 13 Premier League games against West Brom (W11 D2 L0), Man Utd have won just 40% of their last 10 against them (W4 D3 L3).

    – The Baggies have lost just one of their last four Premier League visits to Old Trafford (W2 D1), losing 0-2 in November 2015.

    – Only one side starting the day bottom of the table has ever won a Premier League game at Old Trafford – Blackburn Rovers winning 3-2 in December 2011. Man Utd have won 16 and drawn four of the other 20 games.

    – The Red Devils are looking to secure six consecutive Premier League wins for the first time since January 2017.

    – Manchester United have kept a league-high 16 clean sheets this season, with 11 of those coming at Old Trafford – also the most in the league.

    – West Brom are winless in their last 15 Premier League away games, losing 11 and drawing four. Indeed, only in 2008-09 have the Baggies endured a longer away winless run in a single PL season (16 games).

    – No side has won more Premier League games that they were losing than Manchester United this season (4, level with Arsenal and Bournemouth), with Jose Mourinho’s side winning 33% of the games in which they’ve been behind (4/12).

    – West Brom have scored just 26 Premier League goals this season, the same total Man Utd have registered in the first half alone.

    – Alexis Sanchez has had a hand in four goals in his last two Premier League games (1 goal, 3 assists) – as many as in his previous 12 in the competition for Arsenal and Man Utd combined (4 goals).

    – Jose Salomon Rondon has scored in six different Premier League games this season, failing to win any of them (D2 L4). The most different games scored in by a player in a single Premier League campaign, without winning a single one is seven (Jordan Ayew in 2015-16).
