Sports Mole previews Manchester United vs. West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Manchester United go into their fixture with West Bromwich Albion looking to extend their seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

They have four wins from five in the league and 15 goals from the same fixtures, most recently a pulsating 4-3 win at home to Newcastle United.

West Brom have recovered from their dip at the start of the month and have won their last two games 2-1 against Norwich City and then Queens Park Rangers on Boxing Day.

Sir Alex Ferguson will be without Wayne Rooney for up to three weeks, but Shinji Kagawa could be in line for a return against West Brom.

Steve Clarke has question marks over Youssuf Mulumbu, Jonas Olsson and Goran Popov, who picked up knocks against QPR.
