[Teams] Man Utd vs West Brom: Kagawa Starts, RVP Rested

Manchester United take on high-flying West Brom at Old Trafford today looking to extend their lead at the top of the table.

United capatalised on Man City’s 1-0 defeat to Sunderland by opening up a seven point lead after coming from behind three times to beat Newcastle 4-3 last week.

Sir Alex Ferguson has opted to make some changes for the game giving the likes of Robin Van Persie, Rio Ferdinand and Javier Hernandez a rest during the busy festive period. Danny Welbeck starts up top with Shinji Kagawa returning after a lengthy injury lay-off.
