You're only here to see the Albion: a capacity crowd at Old Trafford watch the Reds vs the Baggies in the cup, 5th March 1958

Two years ago, outstanding goals from Berahino and Amalfitano gave us the unexpected gift of a first win at Old Trafford for thirty-five years.  It was an eighteen month wait before we could repeat the triumph, but repeat it we did; a deflected free-kick and a heroic Myhill penalty save in May was enough to seal back to back wins on United soil for the first time since 1958.  This time it's only been a six month wait, but the question remains: can we recreate the feat of Vic Buckingham's boys in 1959 and make it a third Old Trafford victory in a row?

There's probably no better time to have a stab at it: not only have the wins dried up for the Reds since their promising start to the season, but the goals seem to have dried up too.  Of course, whenever that happens to United they tend to respond by coming at you with the kitchen sink, the cooker, the microwave and the official Wayne Rooney toaster, but realistically, that was always going to happen; what matters is whether we can weather the storm and take advantage of the pressure on them.

Leicester proved last week, like Crystal Palace before them, that our defence can be undone given a touch of pace and quality, but if we can heap frustration on the United forward line then we may come away with something worthwhile to kick off a tricky November.
