Football, Premier League, Day 7: Stoke City vs Manchester United

After beating Manchester United in one of the most thrilling games of the year, Manchester United will face off against Stoke City this Saturday as they try to catch Chelsea at the top of the Barclay´s Premier League rankings.

Stoke City will step into the game huge underdogs, but indications are that we might see a big surprise on Saturday. The Potters made an impressive start to the new season, particularly at home where they have picked up six of their eight points to date. The squad around goalgetter Tomas Sorensen seems poised to edge 3 points on Saturday and make up for the bitter loss against Chelsea earlier this month.

Manchester United, the top ranked team this season, has plenty of confidence going into Saturday´s match and will be disappointed with anything less than 3 points. Whether its the goalkeeping ability of Edvin van der Saar, the defensive skills of Rio Ferdinand, the killer instinct of Wayne Rooney or the experience and leadership of Gerry Neville, Manchester can certainly rely on the depth and quality of their squad. Nevertheless they will tested on Saturday in the Brittania Stadium by a team characterized not so much by talent as by sheer resolve and dedication.
