Good evening and welcome to tonight's clash at Old Trafford - it's Manchester United v Stoke City. A win for the home side will extend their lead at the top to three points, while Stoke could move up to sixth if they manage to secure a win.

Stoke City kick off, starting from right to left.

Robert Huth returns to the Stoke team tonight and has scored in each of their last two Premier League away matches - both coming against teams from the north-west at Wigan and Blackburn.

Man Utd are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home matches, winning the last six. Dimitar Berbatov has scored seven goals in his last two games at Old Trafford - can he get on the scoresheet tonight?
