If we don't trash them.............
-
well, I think it is a big litmus test for MU.
how they combat their weariness cause they did play hard during their asian trip, and given the jetlag and etc, it will be good just to get 3 points.Let's not disrespect Stoke and just get the 3 points.
with the way, the title race is shaping out, another draw here will be disastrous.

Stoke keeper Thomas Sorensen returns after a scan revealed no serious damage to his injured fingers.
City have a string of other injury concerns, however, with Dave Kitson and Andy Griffin (both knee), Salif Diao (calf) and Leon Cort (groin) doubtful.
Manchester United defender Patrice Evra starts a four-match ban and is likely to be replaced by John O'Shea.
Otherwise, Sir Alex Ferguson has no new fresh injury or suspension worries to contend with.
Stoke (from): Sorensen, Shawcross, Sonko, Abdoulaye Faye, Higginbotham, Delap, Amdy Faye, Whelan, Cresswell, Pugh, Fuller, Pericard, Tonge, Soares, Simonsen, Olofinjana, Davies, Wilkinson, Griffin, Diao, Cort, Kitson.
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Amos, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, O'Shea, Evans, Rafael, Ronaldo, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Berbatov, Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck.
Stoke manager Tony Pulis:
"We'll get 28,000 people there, the place will be rocking and I'm just delighted for everybody in the city - it's good times. "We'll expect a tough game - we know what they're like and what players they've got. Whichever team Sir Alex Ferguson picks, they're full of quality. "If we work hard enough and we have a good slice of luck on the day then you never know what might happen."
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick believes Stoke could provide more of a threat than Liga de Quito, who they beat to become Club World Cup winners:
"Quito was a test but Stoke will be tough. "They will make it a battle and try to ensure it is not easy for us. They will probably come at us a little bit more than Quito did. It will be hard."HEAD TO HEADLast months reverse fixture was Stoke's second successive 5-0 drubbing at Old Trafford in top-flight football, spanning 23 years. But the Potters' last two home games against the Red Devils have both been 2-1 wins; first in the old First Division on Boxing Day 1984, then in the first leg of a second round League Cup tie on 22 September 1993.
Stoke won the first ever league match against Manchester United 7-1 on 7 January 1893 (top-flight).
