MAN UTD vs STOKE (1200 ko)
There’s something of West Ham about Stoke. They’re a decent team on paper, were expected to build on an encouraging last season, and have a penchant for conceding four times. But many on here will be grateful that it’s Stoke and not West Ham that travel to Old Trafford today. Forget about their toiled midweek European win, Man U’s victory over Leicester last weekend clearly demonstrated that their attacking potency lies just beneath the surface. Stoke might say the same, but they, like West Ham, lack the confidence that turns potential into reality. Home win.
LEICESTER vs SOUTHAMPTON (1415 ko)
A pity that this is on at the same time as the Man City game, because these two could well produce a cracking game. Both will be looking for points today. Buoyed by the win over Porto, Claudio Ranieri will be in no mood to rest on his laurels and will look to make all the running against the Saints. For his part, M. Puel can take heart from the Saints last two outings (spit x1) and will expect a point at least from their visit to the midlands to push Southampton within sight of the top five. Will the allegations against Eric Black be an unwelcome diversion? Probably not. Draw.
TOTTENHAM vs MAN CITY (1415 ko)
Yum yum. Finish your lunch, leave the washing up for later and take your beverage of choice to your favourite armchair for the game of the day. Kane’s out for Spurs and de Bruyne likewise for the visitors. Spurs have only conceded three league goals so far this season, while City have kept just one clean sheet. This will be a battle not only of two quality teams, but of tactics, strategy and two of the global game’s outstanding managers. Expect an open game with chances aplenty. Narrow away win.
BURNLEY vs ARSENAL (1630 ko)
Every point is worth its weight in gold to Burnley and they’ve done well to bank seven of them so far. Arsenal should be way too strong in this – on paper – unequal encounter, but will have to get through a disciplined home defence and take care not to be caught on the break and from set pieces. Away win.

Is it too early to want a Man Utd win, just so Stoke don't leapfrog us?

If you see it as the ref its a red
A yellow card just doesn't make any sense.
You just know a Stoke player would have gone

Stoke will not be down that long I dont think. Joe Allen excellent signing. Works all day long. Oh for some of that industry in our centre of midfield.

In fact I know Stoke will get out of this because they play us soon. 3 points for them.

Sven - Because Herrara was in a standing position is what saved him no doubt, he didn't go into him with any force or speed. Technically still a red though.
Great point for Stoke will feel like a loss for the Mancs.

I mentioned the standing because you'd think he'd have more control than if he was sliding or both players collided going for a ball between them.
No excuse for the tackle and it should have been a red. The red shirt saved him no question.
Excellent result for Stoke.
They need more from Bony and to adapt to the holding rules which were aimed at them.
They aren't a terrible team but Arnautovic , Shaqiri and Bojan also need to find some goals.
I still haven't seen another team this season that I would say I was confident of us beating in our current form.

I wonder if Zaza is watching Son today??
Not just the pressing & working for the team but also the runs in behind defence where the quick ball can be played
