Hello everyone. It's Boxing Day, which means a full programme of Premier League action. We start at the Britannia Stadium, where Stoke host Manchester United. Team news and LIVE commentary to follow...

Great move by Stoke. Shaqiri with a beautiful pass around the corner to Arnautovic, who finds Shaqiri again on the overlap and his cross flashes across the face of the United goal, just ahead of Bojan.

Good early cross by Herrera isn't cleared by Stoke but the ball bounces off Mata's arm and that's a Stoke free-kick.

KICK OFF. We're underway! Can Van Gaal save his job?

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "We are not in a good position but four weeks ago we were first in the Premier League, and in four weeks' time we can be back in that position again. I only say now I am focused on Stoke City. I help my players."

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "I have been asked whether this is a good time to play them [Manchester United] but I am always wary of that because these type of clubs more often than not bounce back emphatically. The players there are representing a global brand and the players have a responsibility to produce the goods more often than not, so they will be desperate to get back on track at the weekend."

Indeed, the Red Devils are winless in six league and cup games (D3, L3) - their worst run since 1998.

How about a few stats to help whet the appetite? Well, Stoke are unbeaten in their two home games against Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson left - winning 2-1 in February 2014 and drawing 1-1 on 1 January 2015.

The big team news is from Manchester United: Captain Wayne Rooney has been dropped. Too many Christmas Day mince pies? We'll have to wait and see but Anthony Martial starts as a lone striker, with Mata, Fellaini and Memphis Depay behind him.
