Stoke have not beaten Manchester United in the league since December 1984, and have not won at Old Trafford since April 1976.

Both United’s goals in the 2-0 win in this corresponding fixture last season came from the penalty spot.

Javier Hernandez has scored four goals in his four games against Stoke. Robin van Persie has scored six Premier League goals against Stoke in his career, including in each of the last four matches.

United have already lost twice in their opening seven league games – they only lost once before Christmas in last season’s Premier League.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side were losing in five of their opening seven Premier League matches this season – but they fought back to win three of those matches.

United’s defeat to Tottenham in their last match at Old Trafford was their first home league defeat of 2012.

Wayne Rooney became England’s fifth-highest goalscorer during the international break, but has yet to find the net for Manchester United this season. His international and club team-mate Danny Welbeck, who scored twice against San Marino last week, is also yet to score a goal for United this season.

Stoke

Stoke have drawn nine of their last 13 Premier League matches.

Tony Pulis’s side have not won any of their last 13 Premier League away games (D6, L7), scoring just six goals.

The Potters have scored only one second-half goal in this season’s top flight.
