Manchester United v Stoke:  Verdict  3/10 United

Stoke have had a very difficult few weeks fixture wise with trips away to Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United and one point from a possible nine won’t tell the full story if Manchester United, as we expect, take three points on Saturday.  Stoke held Liverpool to a draw and nearly managed the same at Stamford Bridge.  We think that Manchester United will find this game relatively straightforward and we expect Sir Alex Ferguson’s team to leave Chelsea and Liverpool wondering why they couldn’t exert the same pressure during their recent encounters.
