Any hopes of a record 19th league crown rely on neighbours Wigan springing a surprise at Chelsea, coupled with a United victory over Stoke. - The reigning champions have paid the price for losing control of the title race, with last month's home defeat to Chelsea and the subsequent draw with Blackburn the results that look like costing them their crown. - United, of course, are no strangers to final-day drama. Three of their Premier League titles have been won on the last day of the season, but on each occasion Ferguson's men were in the driving seat. In 1995, United went into the final day trailing Blackburn by two points, but could only draw with West Ham despite Rovers' defeat at Liverpool. - Stoke's season has been another of steady improvement. The Potters surpassed the 45 points they registered in 2008/09 with a 1-0 victory against Fulham on Wednesday, and could finish as high as ninth if results go their way. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ‧ The Potters' last league victory over United came on Boxing Day 1984 at the old Victoria Ground. ‧ Man Utd have won nine of the last 11 league meetings with Stoke without the Potters scoring. In the two games where Stoke scored, they won the match. Man Utd ‧ It is six years since the club last won their final four matches of the season. In 2002/03 they beat Blackburn, Tottenham, Charlton and Everton on their way to the title. ‧ United have the best defensive record in the division, conceding 28 goals in 37 matches. ‧ Wayne Rooney has scored 148 club goals in his career, while Paul Scholes needs one more to register 150 for Manchester United. Stoke City ‧ If the club stay 10th in the table it will be their best top-flight finish since coming fifth in in 1975. ‧ Along with Portsmouth, the Potters have scored fewer Premier League away goals than any other team this season (10). ‧ City have conceded 99 goals in their Premier League history.

They have had a good season but have not coped that well without Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Stoke had a good win on Wednesday but the fact they played in midweek will work in United's favour. That said, they did extremely well and will be strong again next year. http://tinyurl.com/24a7mr8 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8664533.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8665597.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3151902,00.html 前瞻：斯托克城 曼联中文官网 http://tinyurl.com/2dvrsgr 曼联需要切尔西在周日失分才有昂夺冠，但红魔必须先击败斯托克城…… 双方近况： 斯托克城早在4月初0-0战平狼队後就已经提前成功保级，当时在2010年的14场联赛中 ，他们仅输过一次。不过之後他们的表现就开始下滑，主场输给博尔顿後，他们遭到切尔 西的屠杀。上周末他们0-0战平埃弗顿，不过在周中的补赛中，他们客场1-0击败富勒姆。 红魔虽然连胜3场，但仍落後切尔西1分，周日曼联不但要击败斯托克城，还要期望维冈令 切尔西失分。 伤停情况： 斯托克城门将索伦森在对切尔西的比赛肩膀受伤後甚至可能无缘世界盃。队长费耶是 另一名在那场比赛受伤的球员，他因为腹股沟拉伤可能缺阵。至於曼联，内维尔因为小腿 受伤错过了之前2场比赛，费迪南德在周中的纪念赛上阵了27分钟有望复出。 焦点球星： 艾瑟林顿获得了斯托克城赛季三项大奖，官方最佳球员、球员评选最佳球员和记者球 迷评选最佳球员，这位左边锋表现有很好的演出，他甚至有机会进入英格兰国家队。 对手主帅： 虽然在季初表现不佳，但在带领球队成功保级後，普利斯已经赢得斯托克城球迷的信 任。他在2008年带领斯托克城升级，在2009年带领球队留在英超，本赛季他们再一次成功 保级。 主裁判： 克拉藤伯格本赛季出示了101黄5红。其中一张红牌是给曼联球员的，在1月份对伯明 翰的比赛中，他罚下了弗莱彻。他上一次执法斯托克城的比赛是2月份他们1-1战平曼城。 竞争对手比赛： 最後一轮所有联赛同时开球，切尔西将在主场迎战维冈，如果蓝军未能获胜，而曼联 击败斯托克城，那麽英超冠军将属於老特拉福德。 Match Pack: Stoke City http://tinyurl.com/2ar6de8 (曼联官网) -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ --
