We predict West Bromwich Albion’s next five games.

Manchester United (A) – Lose

West Bromwich Albion will head to Old Trafford hoping to recapture the spirit that helped them upset Arsenal before the international break.

Jose Mourinho’s men have struggled at home this season (West Brom have won three more home league games than United) and the Baggies will set up to exploit that lack of confidence. United will also be without leading scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic following his altercation with Bournemouth’s Tyrone Mings in the 1-1 draw earlier this month.

I still expect the home side to sneak a victory as they look to break into the top four.

Watford (A) – Draw

Playing two away games in the space of four days is a tough ask for Tony Pulis’ side, especially when their opponents have the luxury of playing bottom of the league Sunderland at home the prior weekend.

The trip to Vicarage Road is made even more daunting when you factor in the highly physical approach of Walter Mazzarri’s men.

I anticipate a scrappy and fiery game between these two sides, which ends in a score draw.

Southampton (H) – Win

Hal Robson-Kanu’s wonder strike was the difference at St Mary’s. The Saints have performed well away from home and look a much better side with the goal-scoring threat of Manolo Gabbiadini.

Albion still have enough to complete a double over Claude Puel’s men.

Liverpool (H) – Lose

Like United, Liverpool will still be in desperate need of wins to keep up in the battle for Champions League places.

If the Reds turn up in the right mood they will be too much for the Baggies.

Leicester City (H) – Win

This fixture will see former West Brom coach Craig Shakespeare return to the Hawthorns as manager of the Premier League champions.

The Foxes, who have sparked back into life since they sacked Claudio Ranieri, face the Baggies after massive fixtures against Atletico Madrid and Arsenal. The hosts should continue their impressive home run against a bottom half side that has struggled on their travels.
