Stoke City v/s Manchester United confirmed lineups: Martial dropped, Smalling made captain

Jose Mourinho has made four changes to the Manchester United side who lined up against Liverpool last weekend.

Anthony Martial has been replaced by Juan Mata in the attacking quartet, while Fellaini starts in central midfield on the wave of positive sentiment after his contribution in the game against the Reds.

Mourinho has also made two big changes in defence, with Daley Blind coming in at right-back instead of Matteo Darmian. Chris Smalling replaces Marcos Rojo in central defence, and Mourinho has named him as his captain.

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has named an unchanged side, with all of the players who starred in their dismantling of Sunderland last week starting today as well.
