West Brom to take inspiration from Hull win to Manchester

Baggies boss Tony Mowbray will use Hull's recent away successes as inspiration for his side's trip to Manchester United.

West Bromwich won the Championship and have made a decent start to life in the Premier League.

But their back-to-back victories have been overshadowed by play-off final winners Hull beating Arsenal and Spurs away to go third in the table.

Hull 's Brazil ian Geovanni scored stunning long-distance efforts in both games and Mowbray hopes one of his players can also make a name for themselves today.

Mowbray, who celebrates his second year in the Albion job today, said: "To get three points at Old Trafford would be great for us - and it can happen. Look at Hull, they went to Arsenal and won.

"It will probably happen again this season, where one of the promoted teams beats somebody, and it's a huge event.

"United probably see us as a potential banana skin and we are fully expecting to give them a tough game. Hull showed it can be done. Let's hope someone smashes one in from 30 yards for us.

"But the gulf is right there in front of our faces. We were playing in the Championship last season while United were winning the Champions League."
