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.

STOKE v MANCHESTER UNITED
United have not won at Stoke in almost four years, so could today be the day? No doubt they will be fired up after hearing about the Liverpool result prior to kick-off. We'll see.
MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 1 WEST HAM
GOAL
An in-swinging corner from Lanzini goes into the box and it is poked home from the six-yard line by Carroll to break the deadlock.
BOURNEMOUTH v WATFORD
Wilshire dinks the ball through to Fraser, but Gomes manages to tip the ball just over the bar. It's promising stuff from Bournemouth, so far.
STOKE 1 - 0 MANCHESTER UNITED
GOAL
Pieters charges down the left hand side and then sends the ball across the face of the goal and it comes off De Gea and into the back of the net. Own goal.
BOURNEMOUTH 0 - 1 WATFORD
GOAL
The corner goes towards the back post, it's then headed back in by Holebas and nodded home from close range from Kabasele. This is completely against the run of play.
MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 1 WEST HAM
GOAL
Stuani scores the equaliser for the home side at the Riverside! The move begins with Traore, who feeds Chambers, who delivers a great ball into the back post, to be easily tapped home by the 30-year-old.
WEST BROM 1 - 0 SUNDERLAND
GOAL
Fletcher has scored the opener at The Hawthorns.
The skipper controls a header from Brunt, before firing the ball past Mannone on the volley.
WEST BROM 2 - 0 SUNDERLAND
GOAL
Brunt has doubled the home side's tally in quick succession, with a terrific volley from distance after Chadli's shot rebounds off the woodwork.
MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 2 WEST HAM
GOAL
Carroll doubles his tally and regained the advantage, just before the half time interval. Antonio strikes the ball at goal and Carroll pounces on the rebound and taps the ball in. Great strikers instinct there.
