Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has warned his players that any slip ups will be punished against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
The Reds go into the game 12 points clear in the title race with seven games remaining looking to take another step towards the Premier League trophy.
But Stoke held United to a draw in the corresponding fixture last season and the Potters are still battling hard to escape relegation.
"It's one of those grounds where they have a great support and the atmosphere is always guaranteed so we have a job to do."
"The challenge at the start of the season was to win the league back and at this moment in time our consistency has been brilliant.
Stoke will check on the fitness of midfielder Matthew Etherington (back) and defender Marc Wilson (back/hamstring) ahead of the game.
Stoke City (from): Begovic, Sorensen, Cameron, Huth, Shawcross, Wilson, Wilkinson, Kightly, Shotton, Nzonzi, Whitehead, Etherington, Whelan, Adam, Jones, Walters, Crouch, Owen, Jerome, Palacios, Shea.
Manchester United (from): De Gea, Lindegaard, Rafael, Smalling, Jones, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Buttner, Nani, Valencia, Powell, Carrick, Anderson, Cleverley, Giggs, Kagawa, Van Persie, Rooney, Hernandez, Welbeck.
