    Absolutely no reason to not destroy them. They are turd, and we'll have had a good, long rest.

    Lots of people picking Young, I thought this was the third game in his three-match suspension so he won't be available? Hopefully Valencia is back, though! He has traveled with the squad to train in Dubai so has a good chance.

    Because we’re not City, Chelsea or Liverpool, Stoke will actually try to win this game. Much like most of the rest of the premier league

    We should win this in a comfortable manner. And going by how we played against Everton & Derby I'm looking forward to it.

    After a 10-day-break in the sun and enough time to work on tactics, individual form and mentality, there is no other option than winning this game comfortable.

    Stoke are absolute garbage and we should be hammering them.

    Drawing at their place earlier in the season was an awful result in retrospect.

    This is what I'd pick too. :)

    I believe so.
    Did we go away?
    They are in Dubai!

    Hope Lionel jessi is rested and plays, i hope that pretender jessi Lingard doesnt play though, as when he plays, Lionel jessi cant play.

    We have Lingard on our team. As long as he plays, he will score a winning goal, if necessary. Even if it means making a solo run from our own half. ;)

    EDIT:
    Craving some actual on-pitch action, I was just watching this goal again (from our last game):


    The guy doesn't need any back lift. The technique used for that is insane. Am I the only one who is noticing this, because I didn't think we had any players in our team with this level of skill. I do remember Ronaldinho scoring something similar (ie. no back lift, able to generate heaps of power and score from a fair distance away from the goal) and he happened to be the best player in the World at the time.

    And of course, my favourite, which I never get bored of:


    The guy is clearly a supreme athlete. Running three quarters of the length of the pitch, while able to use skill and guile to score.

    Don't forget...

    Why is Martial always in the background when he scores a great goal and is doing one of his silly celebrations? Must be a good luck charm or something

    QSF has turned Stoke down (he's seen sense) and it's therefore highly likely that they'll remain manager-less for this game.

    It is a game we must win and win convincingly as Chelsea dropped points today and we can open up 3 points on them. Liverpool are three points behind us.

    I wonder if Valencia will be back for this one, and if so will Shaw be dropped with Young at LB.

    I hope we destroy them. Lost too many points against them in the last couple of years.

    Team pretty much picks itself:

    De Gea
    Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
    Matic
    Lingard Pogba
    Mata Lukaku Martial
    Let's score 5 for once.
