Stoke have an extended passage of play without hurting United, who then counter well. Ashley Young - playing as an emergency left-back - is ignored by Ander Herrera and the move breaks down.

QPR have the first sight of goal, but Niko Kranjcar curls a free-kick over the bar. At the other end Rob Green is off his line quickly to smother Wayne Routledge's effort! Great chance.

BBC Radio 5 live"They're showing great patience at the moment United on the ball.
"Stoke need to be a bit more streetwise in where they give away free-kicks around the penalty area as that's where United will pose a threat."

You can see the players' breath at Turf Moor tonight. It's a cold one. Not that Newcastle supporters will mind. It's character building. Nothing happening in east Lancashire just yet.

James Wilson's only two Premier League goals came against Hull in May - which was also the last time Michael Carrick captained Manchester United in the top-flight.
United keeping the ball with ease so far.

BBC Radio 5 live"I think you'll see Carrick and Fellaini as two sitters in front of the back four for United.
"But, Fellaini will look to get forward more than Carrick and look to get involved up front in this game."

Bruce Grobbelaar's favourite player, Simon Mignolet, shanks his first clearance away. The Liverpool keeper could do with a solid showing between the sticks.

"I think there's a good feeling around Old Trafford at present under Louis van Gaal, so I think they'll come out of the blocks fast."

BBC Radio 5 live"Teams come here and they come off the bus and the atmosphere can intimidate them.
"Stoke have to come and impose themselves on United.
"Hull didn't put a glove on them over the weekend, so it's important for Stoke to stay in the game for the first 15-20 minutes and get a foothold."

Old Trafford slow to fill up this evening. Have a few decided to give this one a swerve? Michael Carrick takes the captain's armband, the Stoke lads wisely keeping their tracksuits on.

The Newcastle players make their way from the dressing rooms into the narrow Turf Moor corridors. Those walls look to have had a fresh lick of paint in the last few months. Pristine.

As a colleague departed for Turf Moor earlier on this evening I couldn't help but think he was woefully underdressed. A straw poll of fans suggests that it's scarf, hat, gloves and thermals weather. As a bare minimum.
I'd go for two pairs of socks too.

I'd file those Brendan Rodgers quotes under 'interesting'. Doesn't having a young family make it more likely that Steven Gerrard would stay?
