Stoke vs Manchester United on TV: Kick off time, latest team news, live stream and TV channel for Premier League clash

Manchester United will look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League as they travel to Stoke

MANCHESTER UNITED are heading to the Potteries in high spirits after taking maximum points with a goal difference of 10-0 from their first three games.

But as Arsenal will tell them, Jose Mourinho's men should be wary of a trip to face Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.

🤔THE ANALYST'S TIPS: Henrikh Mkhitaryan to assist, 6/4🤔

By Danny Higginbotham, The Analyst

THIS is why Henrikh Mkhitaryan is getting so many assists.

Romelu Lukaku is pushing opposition defences back - and creating space for the United midfield. That means Mkhitaryan is getting seven seconds on the ball, instead of three.

For a player of his quality that's easily long enough to pick that killer pass.

What is the latest team news?

Here are the line ups.

Key Battle: Kurt Zouma vs Marcus Rashford

Kurt Zouma will be the key man for Stoke as he looks to keep the Red Devils' free scoring attack quiet the way he did Arsenal's.

Joining on loan from Chelsea, this is the defender’s chance to shine in the Premier League.

Playing on the right of Hughes’ back-three, he will be up against Marcus Rashford, with the forward constantly making runs down the left-flank.

The Frenchman was caught out of position for Everton’s goal on the opening day, but is improving game-by-game.

He has the pace to keep up with the 19-year-old, and the physicality to battle aerially against both him and Lukaku.

Rashford, although he didn’t score against Swansea, constantly made dangerous runs, pulling the defence out of position and testing the opposition’s discipline.

He will be able to do the same on Saturday, and Zouma will need help from Geoff Cameron.

Fact me

  • Stoke are unbeaten in their last four home Premier League games against Manchester United (W2
    D2) since losing four of their first five between 2008-09 and 2012-13.
  • Under Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United’s win percentage in the Premier League against Stoke was 90% (won nine out of 10) – since he left in May 2013, they’ve won three out of eight; a win ratio of 37.5%.
  • Coming in to this matchday, Manchester United will have ended 27 days at the top of the Premier League table this season – more than the total of the previous four seasons combined (16 days).
  • The Red Devils have scored four goals from substitutes so far this season; more than any other Premier League team (Martial x2, Rashford and Fellaini). In 2016-17, they only scored six goals through subs in 38 games.
  • Jose Mourinho hasn’t been on the winning side in any of his last four clashes against Stoke (D3 L1), with one of those draws in the League Cup in October 2015 which his Chelsea side lost 5-4 on penalties.
  • Mourinho has lost his fourth league match of the season in four of the last five seasons (W1), with his first defeat as Manchester United boss coming on the fourth Premier League matchday against Man City last season.

  • Romelu Lukaku has scored 16 goals and assisted two more in his last 18 Premier League appearances.
  • Henrikh Mkhitaryan has provided five assists in his first three Premier League games this season. Only two players have provided six assists in their first four Premier League apps of the season – Thierry Henry in 2004-05 and Cesc Fabregas in 2014-15.
  • Saido Berahino hasn’t scored a Premier League goal since 27th February 2016, with his current
    drought extending to 1823 minutes (over 30 hours of action).
