BETTING PREVIEW
The title would be very hard to lose at this stage, with United well clear of Manchester City, despite losing to them on Monday. Still, that loss came at Old Trafford, not something Alex Ferguson and his team enjoy or are used to, and so we should see a backlash in this match at Stoke.
United are not involved in any other competitions, so this is pretty much it for them, and I expect them to try and pick up as many points and score as many goals as possible, to break records. Stoke City have lost the last 2 meetings with United 2-0 and more recently 4-2, although those two results were at Old Trafford.
Stoke City drew 1-1 here with United last season, but their current form is so bad I don't think there is much chance of them getting anything. In the last 9 league meetings, United have beaten them 8 times and not lost once.
Robin Van Persie has been going through a poor patch, having failed to score in games. However, this game gives him a good chance, because the pressure is not really on anymore, and he does like scoring against Stoke, against whom he has scored a goal in 1 meeting as a Manchester United player. He has 7 goals against them in 6 league meetings.
THE BETTING VERDICT
I think United can not just win this, but do so comfortably. They could win it to nil, but what's the point losing that kind of bet if United concede while scoring 5?
No, I think we can go the AH route on this one and take Manchester United to win by a couple of goals.
