Paul Pogba's late goal away at Crystal Palace on the weekend meant that Manchester United have now won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since August. José Mourinho's side have now moved within six points of fourth, and suddenly things are looking up. However, they could well find it hard to maintain their momentum when they travel to face an on-form West Bromwich Albion for Saturday's late kickoff.

Three big things to know
1. West Brom will be without Boaz Myhill and Saido Berahino, though former United defender Jonny Evans could return after a slight injury problem. United, meanwhile, will be without Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Luke Shaw through injury, though Chris Smalling should be fit enough to make their squad.
2. Tony Pulis is traditionally thought to be one of the Premier League’s more defensive-minded coaches, though his side has hit the net more times than United so far this season. The Baggies have scored 23 goals in their first 16 matches, while United have netted 22 times.
3. West Brom's defense will have to pay particularly close attention to Zlatan Ibrahimović. The 35-year-old Swede has been in devastating form lately, and has netted eight goals in his last eight games. The Baggies' top scorer is Salomón Rondón, who scored a 13 minute hat-trick against Swansea City in midweek.
