The final match of an explosive Gameweek 8 takes place at the Hawthorns this evening. West Brom are looking for their third win in four as Man United roll up to the Midlands, with Alan Irvine’s side having beaten Spurs and Burnley before narrowly tasting defeat at Anfield last time around.

Youngster Saido Berahino carries the main threat for the Baggies, having scored five of their eight league goals this season. In midfield, the likes of Graham Dorrans and Chris Brunt will be looking to stake a claim as viable budget options ahead of a run which pits the hosts against Palace, Leicester and Newcastle in the next three.

Andre Wisdom owners will be glad to hear the right-back returns to the XI this evening – unavailable to face parent club Liverpool last time around, he replaces Cristian Zamboa. Elsewhere at the back, though, Ben Foster misses out with a calf complaint.

Louis van Gaal’s side are searching for their first away win of the season this evening. United may have triumphed in each of their last three at Old Trafford but on the road, it’s been a different matter altogether – draws against Sunderland and Burnley preceded a 5-3 hammering at Leicester.

Now up to 42% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League game, Angel Di Maria carries the hopes of many after serving up a goal and assist in three of the last four. Robin van Persie retains his place but Radamel Falcao drops to the bench for the visitors as Adnan Januzaj comes in, whilst Juan Mata continues in “the hole” due to the absence of suspended skipper Wayne Rooney.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    LVG just told Fellani to warm up

      Saw that....yet another poor decision from LVG. Sack imminent.

    fellaini coming on?

    1. nibby

      yup ... probably for mata

    2. BuK II

      For Di Maria šŸ˜†

    Who to keep Sterling or, ADM ?

    1. Keno
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on team and who you're transferring them to?

      1. nibby
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Want aguero ,so have to ditch 1 between ADm/sterling/cesc.who to ditch?

        1. BAZIM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Keep ADM
          Sterling maybe. LIVERPOOL don't seem to be firing on all cylinders with the Ballotelli guy left to finish chances. 30 shots and no goal! Horrid

        2. zuzuViking
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Same.

          Form says Sterling or Fabragas. Team form says ADM or Sterling. Fixtures says ADM. Main man factor says Fabregas. Depending on what you like to focus on. Otherwise it is pretty mutch even. ADM is most expensive,so perhaps there is more value in that change, but my gut doesnt like it.

    3. Calm
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Keep ADM imo, he's so threatening + has advantage of set pieces

      I bet you watch beheading videos too. Thanks but no thanks

        Thanks for the ignorant assumptions. On front page of my country's biggest sporting publication. http://www.abola.pt/

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          It's not ignorant, why did you think we may want to see it?

          1. Teahupo'o
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 9 months ago

            The post concerns football. This is a football discussion forum. Fabrice Muamba was discussed on here. If you don't want to see it, move along instead of personally attacking me.

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 9 months ago

              What a tool. Discussing it not the same as showing it. The fact that your press have such low standards is no reason to impose it on the rest of us.

              1. Teahupo'o
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 9 months ago

                And the attacks have resorted to name calling. Some high standards those are. Amongst others, Mike Feher, Antonio Puerta, and Marc-Vivian Foe were top stories in worldwide publications.

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 9 months ago

                  You compare calling you a tool with posting a video of someone dying. Maybe tool wasn't strong enough

                  1. Teahupo'o
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 9 months ago

                    And you compare someone to posting a current football story to accusing me of watching horrific beheading videos. And, yes my response apparently wasn't strong enough either.

                    1. Teahupo'o
                      • 14 Years
                      11 years, 9 months ago

                      Instead of ridiculous accusations, enjoy your world of rainbows and unicorns. I'm done here.

                    2. The Bandit
                      • 15 Years
                      11 years, 9 months ago

                      You really are stupid.. You are not posting a 'story' you are posting a video of someone being killed. If you can't see the difference you are not worth talking to.

    7. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Horrible luck. I don't see how you can die from this though. Saw him move at the end of video, no?

  7. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    You get the feeling a few United games will be like this. Either lose by a narrow margin or absolutely blow a team away

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      This is the problem well you build a house and put the roof on first

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        No balance whatsoever but at the same time there's a few match winners

    2. McEwan
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I've not seen much to convince me they will blow anyone away. They have not created anything of note and look suspect every time they are going back towards their goal

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        With ADM and their strikers, they'll blow a few. Like the QPR game

        1. McEwan
          • 17 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Maybe, just commenting after watching that 45. They have been poor so far today but I get what your saying.

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        ADM has created loads in terms of the balls into dangerous areas...This crop of United players aren't good enough to play with him..well, most of the time.

  8. Ady87

      Highly doubt he's the first sub on most benches though. Usually the 5th mid occupies that spot unless a benched defender has a decent fixture.
