TEAM NEWS
After a concerning fitness crisis earlier in the season, Manchester United’s injury list appears to be gradually levelling out, but Sir Alex Ferguson still has a few players missing in defence for the visit of Stoke.
Chris Smalling (metatarsal) is nearing a return after missing the opening two months of the season but Phil Jones and Nemanja Vidic (both knee) are both still about a month away from returning.
Ashley Young (knee), meanwhile, could be in contention to make his first appearance since August 25, but a start looks unlikely.
Coming into one of their most challenging matches of the season, Stoke have almost a full squad to pick from with very few players unavailable for Tony Pulis.
Michael Owen had been struggling with a knock recently but is expected to be available for selection, while Glenn Whelan (hamstring) is a little more doubtful and his fitness will be determined on Friday.
