Preview...
It’s a big game for…
Luke Shaw: Following speculation surrounding his future at Old Trafford, it appears that he is set to start on Saturday. With just 13 appearances for the club since Mourinho took over, the young left-back that he has a point to prove.
Best stat…
A win at the Bet365 Stadium would be Mark Hughes’ 50th with the club – which is just short of his record at Blackburn.
Remember when…
Marko Arnautovic scored this screamer against United in December 2015. It’s an example of his striking prowess and confidence in front of goal.
Player to watch…
Marko Arnautovic: The 27-year-old recently confessed his love for English football and this has also been evident on the pitch. He has been in a rich vein of form, so Hughes will be hoping that he cause an upset against Mourinho’s men. He scored twice last week - you wouldn't bet against him finding the net again.

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm Premier League kick-offs, where Manchester United take centre stage as they look to continue their 16-match unbeaten run against Stoke City, with Mark Hughes looking to claim victory against the side he used to play for.
Bournemouth welcome a Watford side that has not won any of their last six Premier League games to the Vitality Stadium, while Crystal Palace continue to search for their first league victory under Sam Allardyce with in-form Everton travelling south to Selhurst Park, fresh off the back of their 4-0 thumping of Manchester City.
Middlesbrough welcome West Ham to the Riverside, with Slaven Bilic hoping his side can build on last weekend's 3-0 victory over Palace even though Dimitri Payet remains a well-publicised absentee, and West Brom entertain Sunderland at the The Hawthorns with the chance to move out of the relegation zone.
Follow the latest action here, with team news set to land at 2pm.
There's just under 15 minutes until kick-off now. Stay tuned for updates of all the action and goals, as they happen.
CRYSTAL PALACE v EVERTON
Schlupp and Remy both make their first Premier League starts for Palace, meanwhile Everton remain unchanged following their victory against Manchester City. Mind due, I do not blame them for that - if it's not broke, don't fix it.
