Goalkeeper:
David De Gea is expected to get a breather as Danish Goalkeeper, Andres Lindegaard is sure to take his position under the post manning the United goal. Lindegaard hasn’t featured much in recent months and will be eager to prove a point or two to Moyes to claim for a starting eleven spot for himself in the coming future.
Defence:
Expect Rafael to start in the right back spot with his twin brother Fabio on the left. Moyes might well go for Buttner maybe as well, but when it comes to his central defensive partnership, the Red Devils boss will look for the solidity of Johnny Evans and Phil Jones to keep the Stoke forward line at bay.
Midfield:
The likes of Maroune Fellaini, Micheal Carrick and Shinji Kagawa are all out which means Moyes will give Tom Celeverley an extended run with the likes of Danny Fletcher, the latter who featured at Villa Park on Sunday. Even the long lost Anderson might just get the nod. Wilfred Zaha might start on the left with Antonio Valencia on the right, the latter being sublime against the Villans on Sunday. Portuguese Nani might be used later on a substitue and the same applies for youngster Adnan Januzaj.
Strike Force:
Danny Welback will be eager to maintain his goal scoring prowess with Wayne Rooney up front. Expect the duo to start the game once again.
