Group NewsStoke will check into the fitness of midfielder Matthew Etherington (back) and defense Marc Wilson (back/hamstring) ahead of their Premier League battle with Manchester United. Both players were forced down in the out-of-form Potters' loss to Aston Villa last week-end. Midfielder Glenn Whelan has qualified this week and is fit to return following a back issue. Meanwhile, Ashley Young may miss United's trip to Stoke after being eliminated for a couple of weeks having an foot injury suffered during Monday's beat to Manchester City. Jonny Evans must be healthy while skipper Nemanja Vidic has returned to teaching. Robert Scholes is definitely out. Fit NotesSir Alex Ferguson's players still have the cigarettes out despite the humiliation of Monday night's defeat to Manchester City and certainly nothing can damage their dreams of another name. Therefore this game is probably more important for fighting Stoke, who have suffered an alarming decline that Roberto Mancini can only dream about happening to United. With only 1 get since Boxing Day, Tony Pulis is under threat of his first ever relegation as a manager and his report against United also makes unpleasant reading. Betting: Home 9-2, Away 8-13, Draw 13-5. Statistic of the game: If United lose following their defeat to City it'll be the very first time in 50 excursions they have suffered back-to-back losses. John Percy's prediction: Stoke City 1 Manchester United 2.
