Premier League Match : Manchester United v West Brom [07/11/2015]

The defender wants his side to score early against Tony Pulis' men but admits the Baggies are a tough team to break down

Chris Smalling wants Manchester United to prove their attacking prowess against West Brom at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Manchester United          v          West Brom
                                                                                          15:00 • Old Trafford, Manchester
                                                                                                        Referee: M. Dean

Louis van Gaal's side have scored just twice in their last five games in all competitions, with their previous two Premier League outings against Manchester City and Crystal Palace ending goalless.

As Van Gaal has been quick to point out, United have made progress in defence - keeping more clean sheets (7) than any other team in the league this season - but are lacking a cutting edge at the opposite end of the pitch.

Considering Tony Pulis' West Brom side have not conceded in four of their five Premier League away matches in 2015-16, United could be set for another disappointing afternoon.

And while Smalling acknowledges it will be difficult to break Albion down, he still feels United have the creative players needed to make an impact in the final third.

"Tony Pulis has made them very solid and they don't concede many goals, so we're going to have to break them down," he told the club's official website.

"If we can get an early goal, I think you may see the floodgates open."
