Manchester United will continue their quest for a Premier League top four spot when they entertain West Brom on Saturday (3pm kick-off).

Jose Mourinho’s men are currently fifth and four points adrift of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in fourth, but with two games in hand over the Reds, they’ll look to stay in contention and take advantage later on in the campaign.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic set to serve the final game of his domestic ban, Mourinho may call upon England international Marcus Rashford to lead the line against the Baggies in the hope that he’ll end his 18-game goal drought in the Premier League, dating back to their 4-1 win over Leicester in September.

However, it won’t be easy for the Red Devils against Tony Pulis’ West Brom, who find themselves eighth in the table having won 12 of their 29 games this term.

Their 3-1 success over Arsenal prior to the international break was a welcome reminder of the Baggies’ capabilities against the top sides, although they haven’t won any of their last four matches on the road.

Striker Salomon Rondon will also be hoping to end a drought of his own, with the Venezuelan international having not netted in the Premier League since his hat-trick in their 3-1 win over Swansea on December 14 – 14 league appearances have passed since then.

So, with these two forwards set to go head-to-head on Saturday, here is how Rashford and Rondon match up in the Premier League this season…
