It was the 92nd minute of the game when Arsene Wenger, as fraught with nerves as I've ever seen him, clung to Pat Rice as a Robin van Persie chance went begging.

The former Reds boss returns to Anfield for the first time since being sacked in January 2011, knowing his Albion side can move within just one point of Liverpool with a win.
And there is much to encourage the Baggies given that Liverpool have just one Premier League win at home in 2012 - and that was against an under-strength Everton side.

United are 1.25 shots to beat West Brom at Old Trafford this weekend and it really should be a case of how many they put past the Baggies. They have won nine and lost none of the 11 Premier League meetings with Roy Hodgson's side, who to be fair come into this on the back of a good run of results and have lost just one of their last seven games on the road.

We can only speculate on AVB's fate but the manager is surely closer to the exit now than he was 90+ minutes ago.
