Gameweek 8 is going to be rounded with the match between WBA and Manchester United at The Hawthorns stadium and it is very interesting duel for number of reasons. It might be the end of gameweek 8 but it is not
the end of the season, so this will be an opportunity for Louis Van Gaal and his boys to get in business for the title.

The Reds are after third win in a row after they beat West Ham and Everton, and based on the difficulties of those two games, we can say that this is already strong Manchester United. But that doesn’t mean that WBA is team that can’t give trouble or even grab the whole prey. They have great players who can produce moments of magic like Sessegnon, Berahino, Anichebe and Samaras. They all play without respect to the opponent and if United’s defence gives them space I am sure that they will grab it.
We can all remember the 5:5 thriller between these two teams when Lukaku had wonderful day scoring a hat-trick at Old Trafford, partly because he is great striker but mainly because of the clumsy defence. For tonight’s match, Van Gaal’s defence will only miss Jonny Evans and that shouldn’t be an excuse for defeat or even a draw if such scenario is ahead of us because he had plenty of time and money to get new signings, which he did.
The key element that will decide the winner for this game will probably be the concentration. The second element for victory is attacking power and that is where United should dominate. I can easily see Falcao or Van Persie in goal scoring opportunity with such creative players in the team as Di Maria, Herrera and Mata are.
Also I will keep my opinion for WBA manager Alan Irvine. He is no match for Louis Van Gaal with all the experience behind the dutchman.
