Stoke City face the big test on Saturday evening when Manchester United roll into town. Tony Pulis has done a remarkable job with the Potters and even his post match interview after the 4-0 reverse against Sunderland was top quality.
City have kept seven clean sheets this season and they will be massively up for this game. United have a perfect Premier League record but that has to end at some stage and this will be an ultra tough encounter for them, although they have won their last three Premier league clashes at the Britannia. Jones and Higginbotham will miss out for the home side but Fuller could be in contention. Smalling, Hernandez and Ferdinand are slight doubts for United but should be available.
Given United performances so far this season and the fact that they look a class apart you would have to fancy them to win. Odds on away is a fast route to the poor house so we would recommend a United/United half-time/full-time at a general 13/10 as the best option. The devils have lead at the break in four of their last five games.
