Wayne Rooney has scored four and assisted two more in his last three PL appearances against Stoke at Old Trafford.
Stoke's last clean sheet at Old Trafford coincided with their last win there in any competition - they won 1-0 in April 1976 in the league.
Juan Mata has been involved in 82 goals in the Premier League since moving to England ahead of the 2011/12 season (scored 41, assisted 41), a joint-high for a midfield player (level with David Silva).
United have won five of the last seven Premier League games that Wayne Rooney hasn't started.
Jose Mourinho has lost three of his last four matches in the Premier League in October.
Four of the last six Premier League teams to take two points from their opening six games (as Stoke have) have been relegated.
