What is the latest Stoke City team news?
Mark Hughes will look to keep the same side that won comfortably over Sunderland. Jack Butland, Jonathan Walters and Geoff Cameron are still sidelined. Bojan Krkic has revealed his desire to leave the club this month, so it would seem likely he won't feature until he has confirmed a move away.
Who is definitely out for Stoke City?
Mame Biram Diouf and Wilfried Bony are both at the African Cup of Nations so neither will play against Manchester United. Jack Butland is a long-term absentee and Jonathan Walters will also definitely be missing.
What is the latest Manchester United team news?
There were no injury problems after the Liverpool game so expect Jose Mourinho to go with a similar side. Juan Mata could come back in for either Anthony Martial or Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Who is definitely out for Manchester United?
Eric Bailly is currently with the Ivory Coast team at the African Cup of Nations. Luke Shaw is lacking match fitness so is unlikely to feature and James Wilson is a long-term absentee with a knee ligament injury.

SunSport prediction
Although Stoke City had a good win over Sunderland, the visitors should have enough to seal all three points. Jose Mourinho wont let his side be as wasteful as they were against Liverpool. Manchester United to win 2-0
What they say
Jose Mourinho was disappointed his side didn't get the three points on Sunday and will be keen to make sure they do against Stoke: "We were the team that attacked and Liverpool were the team that defended - let's see if the critics are fair. I enjoyed it but I will obviously be disappointed we didn't get the three points."
Mark Hughes was delighted with the way his team performed at Sunderland and wants them to continue that standard for the rest of the season: "The football we played during the first 30 minutes or so of the first half was as good as anything we have produced away from home for several years in my opinion.
"We have never finished seventh or eighth in the Premier League before so that is undoubtedly our aim over the final few months of the season."
