Graham Potter guided his team to ninth place in the Premier League last term and have enjoyed a largely successful pre-season campaign.
They have however lost Yves Bbissouma in transfer window as the Mali international signed for Antonio Conte’s Tottenham in a £30m deal, while player of the year Marc Cucurella continues to be linked with a move to champions Manchester City.
Albion have so far signed Paraguay wonder-kid Julio Enciso and Ivorian striker Simon Adingra – who was immediately senton loan Union SG.
Potter however remains happy with his squad and believes they will be fresh and ready for the clash at Old Trafford.
