West Brom player and goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 from getting a goal.
The Baggies are fresh from a hard-fought but less than convincing victory over a struggling Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 side. West Brom have enjoyed their greatest ever start to a Premier League campaign under new manager Steve Clarke and sit at 6th place,
tied on points with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 and Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United are clear at the top, with 7 points separating them and 2nd place Manchester City. The Red Devils are looking like the most likely team to win the title this season, and have shown that they mean business, especially after Boxing
Day’s 4-3 victory over Newcastle United.
Manchester United came back on three occasions against the Magpies, and grabbed the 3 points as Javier Hernandez score the winner in stoppage time. With the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, Van Persie and Hernandez in the squad, Foster knows he is in for a tough evening
against the 19 time Premier League champions.
Foster revealed that Van Persie is in his fantasy football team, and praised the Dutch striker for his qualities. However, he is aiming to deny Van Persie from getting on the score sheet as he travels with West Brom to his former club.
Speaking about the game and Van Persie, Foster said:
“Van Persie is one of the top strikers in the world and it’s a dream come true for the fans to have him. Van Persie is in everybody’s dream isn’t he? He’s definitely in mine. When United really play well with their best attacking team, it’s a frightening
thing to come up against.”
Albion suffered a three-game losing streak, which halted their progress this season and robbed them of the 3rd spot, where they had been sitting last month. However, with victories against QPR and Norwich City, they are back on track and are no
targeting a result against the league leaders.
Foster insists that even a draw against United will be a good result, but they will have to work hard if they are to get anything from the game.
