New West Brom manager Alan Pardew often gets early results when he joins a club, so they'll be more confident facing Manchester United today (k-o 2.15pm)

New West Brom manager Alan Pardew often gets early results when he joins a club, so the Midlands team will be more confident facing Manchester United (k-o 2.15pm) than they might have been a few weeks ago.

Not only that, one of their best players, captain Jonny Evans, is an ex-United defender who has been a huge asset at the back.
