West Brom vs Man United key match stats 

Supplied by Opta

West Bromwich Albion have lost eight of their 11 Premier League games against the Red Devils at the Hawthorns (W1 D2).

After scoring in each of their first 17 Premier League matches against the Baggies – scoring 43 times in the process – Man Utd have failed to score in three of their last five games against them.

West Brom have won three of their eight Premier League clashes against Manchester United since Alex Ferguson retired at the end of the 2012-13 season – they had won none of their previous 14 games against the Red Devils under Ferguson (D3 L11).

West Bromwich Albion have failed to score in 17 league matches in 2017, their most in a calendar year since 1985 (also 17); they haven’t failed to score in more than 17 since 1971 (20).

Romelu Lukaku scored a hat-trick for West Brom against Manchester United in a May 2013 Premier League clash that ended 5-5 in what was Sir Alex Ferguson's last game as manager

No manager has beaten Jose Mourinho more often in the Premier League than Alan Pardew (3) – level with Mark Hughes.

West Brom have failed to score in all three Premier League games under Alan Pardew so far and they are the only team yet to score in December in the competition, despite attempting 33 shots in these games.

This could be Gareth Barry’s 36th Premier League appearance against Manchester United – only one player has faced an opponent more often in Premier League history (Ryan Giggs vs Liverpool, 38).

No goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets since the start of last season with the big five European leagues than David de Gea (24 – level with Jan Oblak).

Romelu Lukaku has had a hand in seven goals in six Premier League starts against West Brom (four goals, three assists). Lukaku scored a hat-trick the last time he played in this fixture in May 2013, doing so for the Baggies in a 5-5 draw at the Hawthorns; no player has ever scored a hat-trick for both clubs in a Premier League fixture.

Since the start of 2016-17, Romelu Lukaku has scored 30 goals in 38 Premier League appearances versus 'non-big-six' sides.
