West Brom v Man Utd, 12:45 Apologising to the fans and thanking them for their loyalty was an interesting move from David Moyes this week, and we can only assume the fans he was thanking are not the same group that has been calling for his head on the social media sites the last few months but today is another day, and another chance to begin the turnaround. With eighteen points between the Red Devils and Chelsea in the table there is now more chance of Ryan Giggs winning father of the year than United winning the league, but West Brom have only got one win in their last ten league matches and 19/10 score win candidate Robin Van Persie, with BWin, could have a field day. West Broms Billy Jones is out for a month and Nicolas Anelka begins a five-match ban, but Stephane Sessegnon could be fit Claudio Yacob should return after a hamstring injury. Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez is doubtful, but Juan Mata returns to the squad after an enforced rest. Cardiff v Fulham, 15:00 It’s not often than I feel like I gained anything from watching BT Sport’s godawful football talk shows, but the smug bloke who presents one of them did provide me with the useful stat that Cardiff haven’t scored in 360 minutes of league football now, which must worry their fans a fair bit. Appointing one of the most natural strikers the Premiership has ever seen as manager might have appeared a good idea for getting more out of the strikeforce, but if the Welsh side can’t win this home game against the bottom team in the league they may as well just give up and accept that next year they’ll be in a 46 game season rather than 38. 32Red have 10/11 on under 2.5 goals going in Cardiff will assess Craig Noone and Andrew Taylor after the pair missed the defeat at Tottenham through injury. Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglou could feature, but Damien Duff, Scott Parker and Fernando Amorebieta are all ruled out, while William Kvist is unlikely to be fit.
