Match facts

Stoke City

Stoke are unbeaten in their last three home league games against Man Utd (W2 D1), after a run of five without a win against them (D1 L4).
Mark Hughes' next Premier League win at Stoke will be his 50th - only at Blackburn has he won more Premier League games as a manager (58).
Peter Crouch is one goal away from his 100th in the Premier League, though only two of his 99 have come against Manchester United (2 in 23 games).
Charlie Adam has provided three assists in his last two Premier League games, as many as he had in his previous 71 matches.

Manchester United

The Red Devils haven't gone four league games without a win at Stoke since a run of six in April 1964.
Manchester United have only failed to score in one of their last 21 league games against Stoke, though it was in this exact fixture last season (0-2).
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League fixtures (W7 D5), their best league run since March 2013 (18 without defeat).
Jose Mourinho has lost two of his three Premier League visits to the Bet365 Stadium (W1), his joint-highest loss percentage at any Premier League ground (67%, level with the Riverside Stadium).
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 14 league goals have won Manchester United 11 points this season, no player has won more for this side (level with Diego Costa).
Only Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dwight Yorke (15 each) scored more goals in their first 20 Premier League games for United than the Swedish striker has managed (14).

Predictions

The guests may take initiative right from the start and test out Stoke’s defensive capabilities, but we probably won’t see many goals in the first halftime.

However, there may be a more challenging game in the second period, where both teams are likely to score.

Manchester’s lead will be undeniable and they will preserve the result in their favor until the final whistle.

Final Score – 1 : 2
