Team News

Manchester United have no new injury concerns for the trip to Stoke, although the Red Devils do face FC Basel in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, so Mourinho may opt to rest some of his stars.

Per Simon Peach for the Evening Standard, both Phil Jones and Eric Bailly will miss the European clash due to suspension and so could feature at the heart of the United defence on Saturday.

Stoke may be without former United midfielder Darren Fletcher after he withdrew from the Scotland squad with a knee injury, per The Scotsman. 

However, the Potters could hand Kevin Wimmer a first start after he signed from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £18 million, per BBC Sport.

Preview

Stoke have already upset Arsenal at home this season and will be hoping to do the same against the early Premier League leaders.

Summer arrival Jese Rodriguez was the match-winner against the Gunners, and the threat he poses was neatly illustrated by WhoScored.com:

United, meanwhile, boast the only 100 per cent record in the top flight, and in Romelu Lukaku they have their own striker who is in top form, as shown by the official Twitter account of the Champions League:

Marcus Rashford, who scored for England in midweek, has also started the season brightly along with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, as noted by WhoScored.com:

Football writer Liam Canning would like to see both players start behind Lukaku, with Anthony Martial also handed a place in the attack:

Stoke's win over Arsenal will serve as a warning to United, but Mourinho's side look strong in defence and boast an in-form attack that will take some stopping on current form.
