When Stoke City met Manchester United for the first time in theBarclays Premier League in mid November, the Potters where out-classedby a free scoring United side, who put five past them without replyatOld Trafford.
Now, Tony Pulis' men host the reigning champions and will be hopingto find some festive cheer with some points as they take on apotentially fatigued United side, following their victorious trip toJapan for the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Potters will have been disappointed to lose heavily to aresurgent Blackburn Rovers side last time out, while United, now twomatches behind the rest in the league, will be keen to add to theirpoints tally if they are to keep up the pace in the title race.
