Match forecast
These two sides are set to meet for the 18th time in the Premier League. Man United have won eight of the nine matches at Old Trafford between these two sides, but things have been quite different at Potter's home ground. The last time Man Utd won at the bet365 stadium, formerly the Britannia stadium was back in 2013 when the reds went ahead to win the league.
And considering the lethal attacking duo of Peter Crouch and Marco Arnautovic, not forgetting the return of Bojan, Man Utd should not expect and easy trip here. But the red devils know very well that a defeat would further dent their hopes of securing a Champions League spot or even fighting for a league title. They have a full squad ahead of this match and with such, a draw could be the most probable result here.
