Stoke City v Manchester United
If the Red Devils have struggled against Newcastle and Spurs, they could be undone against the Potters, with Hughes’ side exploiting any lack of belief in the side. Any snowfall over Christmas would also play into the hand of the tall and tough Northern side.
But if Van Gaal’s side beat Newcastle and Spurs as we predict, they should be able to keep their run going and see off a spirited, if limited, Stoke side.
