Albion will not be facing Jose Mourinho's Manchester United at Old Trafford next month.

He has been sacked after two-and-a-half-years in charge.

Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield was the final straw.

That left United in sixth place, eight points adrift of the top five, 11 behind the top four and 19 below leaders Liverpool.

They are only five points better off than Albion, who defeated Mourinho's side at the Amex at the end of last season and earlier this season.

Albion go to Old Trafford on January 19.
