Pundits all say the same thing will happen in Manchester United's game against West Brom

Manchester United make the trip to West Brom on Sunday looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

Saturday's results saw Leicester City leapfrog the Reds into second in the table, whilst Manchester City's victory over Spurs saw them extend their lead over United to eight points.

It puts the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's as they look to bounce back from their disappointing 3-3 draw with Everton last weekend.

Unsurprisingly, with West Brom struggling at the wrong end of the table, United are heavy favourites to win - here is what the pundits are predicting...

West Brom v Manchester United | Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Pre-Match Press Conference

Mark Lawrenson - BBC

"Manchester United got through their FA Cup tie with West Ham, eventually, but they will still be ruing Everton's last-gasp goal last weekend, which cost them two points.

"I cannot see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side slipping up at The Hawthorns, though. West Brom will give everything, but effort alone won't be enough."

Prediction: West Brom 0-2 United

Michael Owen - Bet Victor

"Sam Allardyce hasn’t had the desired impact thus far at the Hawthorns. The Baggies have been struggling in all departments and they welcome a team here that are undefeated for over a year away from home in the Premier League.

"I think it was a shrewd move from United to get Edison Cavani in over the summer. His experience has been vital in recent away victories and I don’t think any defender will look forward to facing him.

"With that in mind, there’s only one winner for me. I’m going with Manchester United to take the points home to Old Trafford."

Prediction: West Brom 0-2 United

Dimitar Berbatov - Betfair

"I don't think West Brom will manage to save themselves. Recently, though, there was a big surprise and Sheffield United managed to beat Man United, and I hope Solskjaer's side don't make the same mistakes otherwise it's going to be a disaster.

"They need to stay concentrated and just get the job done and move onto the next match."

Prediction: West Brom 0-2 United
