The ground on a Staffordshire hill. The storm clouds and the stiffening winds. This is where Manchester United will expose their immaculate record to the whims of Stoke City.

United have not won here since the days of Sir Alex and it was in the fourth game of last season that Mourinho's men dropped their first points of the season. Stoke rediscovered at least some of their abrasive edge in beating Arsenal here three weeks ago - they enjoyed some luck too. But that passionate Potteries atmosphere was back and Mark Hughes expects more of the same.

United's players also have a lot more international miles on the clock and that too will be a factor in making this their most difficult assignment so far.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes says he's hoping not to get a repeat result of Nigel Johnson's first game covering the club.

Hughes says he's been told the first game ended in a 5-2 defeat for the Potters but he's still wishing Nigel well...

Not just an intriguing match ahead but a very special occasion for commentator Nigel Johnson, who is covering his 2,000th game for BBC Radio Stoke today.

That's an incredible stint. Go well, Nigel.

Big hand to his Radio Stoke colleagues for ensuring he had a cracking one to commentate on too.

With captain Ryan Shawcross out with a back injury, Kevin Wimmer makes his Stoke City debut while Bruno Martins Indi drops to the bench with Mame Biram Diouf starting. Darren Fletcher captains the home side against his former club.

Stoke XI: Butland, Zouma, Wimmer, Cameron, Diouf, Fletcher, Allen, Pieters, Shaqiri, Jese, Choupo-Moting.

Subs: Berahino, Tymon, Martins Indi, Adam, Crouch, Haugaard, Sobhi.

Jose Mourinho makes three changes to his Manchester United team who won three games from three before the international break.

After scoring for England, Marcus Rashford returns for Anthony Martial, Matteo Darmian replaces Daley Blind and Ander Herrera comes into midfield in place of Juan Mata.

Man United XI: De Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Jones, Darmian, Ander Herrera, Matic, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku, Rashford.

Subs: Mata, Martial, Smalling, Lingard, Carrick, Blind, Romero.

Let's start with the team news...

Always tough to judge a side from the first three games of the season but Manchester United couldn't really have made a better impression.

Three wins in three, without conceding, for Jose Mourinho's side.

Now that the international break and transfer window are out of the way, this is when we really learn what sides are made of.

Can the Red Devils do it at Stoke?

And what Stoke will they be facing? The shrewd outfit that downed Arsenal or the meek lot that lost to Everton on the opening day?

Looking forward to an intriguing match in the Potteries.
