Initial Group Live: Stoke City compared to. Manchester United, Britannia Stadium (14/4, 9 a.m. ET) Birmingham United go the Britannia Stadium this Sunday to take on Stoke City. Sir Alex Ferguson's side is coming off the back of a few disappointing results, particularly an FA Cup leave at the hands of Chelsea and a Premier League beat to regional rivals Manchester City. The Red Devils however stay easily atop the EPL table, though, 12 points clear of City. Sunday's game should give United with a system from which to launch what they hope would have been a successful end to a combined year. The Potters will be in awful type recently, picking up merely a single point in their last six league games. Indeed, Tony Pulis' side have only won one of their last 13 group gamesa'a 2-1 home win over Reading in February. The overall game is likely to be physical and low-scoring centered on type. In while Marc Wilson and Glenn Whelan could be absent for Stoke (via Goal.com), terms of injuries and suspensions, Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic and Ashley Young must all be around to Sir Alex. Therefore be sure to check straight back here about 45 minutes before kickoff for the group media and accumulation.
