Weekend Review - 20 Oct 2012

Manchester United vs Stoke City


World Cup qualifiers are over at the moment, with the next one in March. So we are concentrating on both domestic and European fronts.

Man Utd are slowly trimming down the injured players from the list. We will see Phil Jones, Ashley Young and Chris Smalling in this fixture playing bit part role to regain fitness.

Stoke, will see the return of Michael Owen. I dont think he has earn legend status or Hall of Fame in Old Trafford, unlike Eric Cantona and Cristiano Ronaldo. Even taking the famous number 7 after Ronaldo has left for Real Madrid, he didnt match the expectation that fans had for David Beckham and Ronaldo.

Anyway, Stoke is a very technical team where they rely on set-pieces and long ball to get the result that they want. They have held Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool to a draw game.

Man Utd is giving 1.5ball handicap. No punt for this game.
