  • Tom Cleverley's side started the season in fine form but have now claimed just four points from the last 15 available.
  • Hayden Hackney's 73rd-minute goal proved to be the difference on Tuesday night as Middlesbrough left the Hawthorns with all three points following an impressive 1-0 win against West Brom.
  • Michael Carrick's men take on Watford with just one defeat in six and back-to-back wins under their belt.
