#5 Tony Pulis’ West Brom closing the gap on Everton
He has done it before and he is doing it again. For years, Tony Pulis has managed to take a team that usually finishes well into the bottom half of the Premier League table and turn them into contenders for Europe. This time, West Brom have been that mentally strong team with great character – classic Tony Pulis.
Gareth McAuley is having the season of his life and has been finding the back of the net quite often. Matt Phillips has probably been the best player this season for the Baggies and yet again this week he created both the goals with two fantastic corner kicks. West Brom are only a point behind Everton now.
#6 Manchester United have found the right balance finally
The first half of the season for Manchester United was about Jose Mourinho finding the right balance with this Manchester United team. He has the challenge to fit so many star players into the team while assigning them roles to contribute effectively. It is safe to say that United have now found their mojo and are a team to be wary of.
With a set midfield and a well-performing attack, Manchester United have been fantastic in the last few games. Jose has stopped settling for a 1-0 lead and pushes his men to get that second goal which gives them a cushion. Their game against West Ham United was a classic example of just that. All four of Mourinho’s summer signings are now performing well for the Red Devils.
