Ricardo Fuller who turned around the mid-week Carling Cup tie against Blackpool is in great form but is a major doubt for the match.

Man United 5-0 Stoke City
Stoke City 0-1 Man United
The Potters held United upto the 83rd minute when the sides last met at the Britannia stadium and could again look to stifle United’s attacking minded players. However with Wayne Rooney in great form it would be an uphill task for the Stoke defence to prevent him from scoring.
Match verdict: – With a thrilling win against their city rivals, Sir Alex will be confident of comfortably winning this fixture.
Stoke City 1-3 Man United (Faye, Rooney, Fletcher, Berbatov)
