Stoke v Man Utd (Premier League)
League rankings: Stoke 11th Man Utd 1st
Useful facts: Jose Mourinho's team comes into this game like a house on fire, scoring 10 goals and not conceding a single one in three consecutive league wins, while Stoke has been less fortunate – with a loss, a win and a draw from the opening three matches. United are actually undefeated in 30 of their last 32 Premier League games, but Stoke is not an easy team to beat, as Man United found out in four of their last six games against them, with three of those ending in stalemates.
