38'

Cleverley overhits a crossfield pass to Smalling, and that kills off United's momentum for a moment. The midfielder looks frustrated with himself.

37'

Vidic gets a head to the ball at the far post, but cannot steer it on target. West Brom clinging on, fingernails only, at present.

36'

Kagawa almost on the end of Cleverley's through ball - corner again for the Red Devils.

35'

Steve Clarke looks utterly miserable. Someone ought to remind just how brilliant his West Brom tenure has been thus far...

34'

Odemwingie at the other end tries a deep cross, which goes the whole way across the goalmouth and out for a throw.

33'

CARRICK NOW CLOSE! Fearful defending from West Brom, who just cannot get rid. Vidic gets the ball stuck under his feet but somehow still tees up a shot for Carrick. Somehow the visitors survive.

32'

WHAT A SAVE FROM FOSTER! Young denied by the former England keeper despite a vicious half-volley! Corner.

31'

Rosenberg now getting involved as West Brom pass the ball in United's final third - but where's the cross?

30'

Clumsy from Evra - Dorrans gets in front of the Frenchman and Evra simply sticks an arm out to try and get back on terms. Free kick for the visitors in a useful position.

29'

Ashley Young over the bar with a header after a deflected cross from Welbeck. United getting closer once again.

28'

The Baggies are just beginning to string a few passes to together. Not much in the way of purpose or direction yet, but they have to start somewhere.

27'

If Odemwingie were unable to continue, the presence of Lukaku could yet unsettle the United defence. Might not be the worst thing to happen to West Brom.

26'

The physios are now coming to Odemwingie who has been caught in a challenge. He's made his way off the field, so play will continue.

25'

Vidic tries a ranging ball out of his own half. Welbeck hurts himslef to clamber over the back of Ridgewell.

24'

The pitch is beginning to scuff up, however, particularly down the middle. It could look very different to play on this ground after 90 minutes.

23'

United working neatly in tight spaces - Kagawa and Cleverley particularly effective.

22'

Plenty of goals going in across the Premier League at present.

21'

Possession stats have just flashed up on our screens - 79% to Manchester United so far. It's been one-way traffic.

20'

Welbeck penalised for handball instead, trying to control the ball with his back to goal.

19'

The Old Trafford crowd goes up for a penalty for handball as Tamas blocks Kagawa's cross. Ambitious - it was at point-blank range for one, and it hit Tamas' chest for another. They settle for a corner.

18'

WELBECK! Draws a save from Foster as United look to double their advantage - the placement good, but he couldn't quite find the power.
