We’ve another enhanced odds offer for this game…..at the following link…..
Get 5/1 Man Utd to beat Stoke City!!!!
Louis van Gaal’s men have remembered how to play on the road now going four unbeaten and have won five of their seven visits to the Potteries since 2008.
Stoke will assess Spanish forward Bojan, who was substituted against West Brom on Sunday with a slight hamstring problem and could again be without full-back Phil Bardsley, who has an ankle injury.
Manchester United will monitor wing-back Antonio Valencia, who was forced off against Tottenham with a minor groin problem whilst midfielder Ander Herrera may return from a muscle injury.
United trail leaders Chelsea by 10 points and and it will be interesting to see if any transfer business is done this month in their continued efforts to reduce that gap.
Their current defence will face a thorough examination at the Britannia Stadium as Arsenal found last month but a run of 23 points from a possible 27 has brought them much needed consistency.
David De Gea has been a rock during that run finally realising potential seen, but whom many questioned, by Sir Alex Ferguson two years ago.
Statistics…..

Suggested Bets…..
Robin van Persie has scored ten goals in ten Premier League appearances against the Potters and the Dutchman is a forward in form, notching four times in his past five appearances for Man United.
He also netted on both of his prior Premier League journeys to the Britannia Stadium with the Red Devils and looks value at 2.74
Wayne Rooney has provided five goals and two assists in his last seven Premier League appearances and is just two goals shy of becoming the first player to hit double figures in 11 consecutive Premier League campaigns. Another who looks good value at 2.84
Back Van Persie to score @ 2.74
Back more goals in 2nd half at 1.81
