Match Preview Louis van Gaal has warned Manchester United to heed lessons from their last encounter with Stoke City when the sides meet on New Year’s Day. United are halfway through Van Gaal's debut season as manager and a nine-match unbeaten run has helped them rise to third in the Barclays Premier League table. One of United's recent victories came against Stoke at Old Trafford at the beginning of December, Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata scoring either side of Steven N'Zonzi's equaliser. However, Van Gaal's men had to withstand late pressure from Mark Hughes' side on that occasion, with goalkeeper David de Gea pulling off a string of impressive saves. Van Gaal is confident that United can continue to adapt to his methods as the Barclays Premier League welcomes in 2015, but is wary of the challenge Stoke will pose at the Britannia Stadium. United have welcomed back the defensive trio of Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling and Rafael Da Silva back from injury over the Christmas period. Van Gaal's options have been further boosted by the return to training of Ander Herrera and Adnan Januzaj from an ankle injury and illness respectively, but they appear unlikely to feature this week. Angel di Maria (pelvis) and Fellaini (rib) are also expected to miss out once more, while Marcos Rojo (thigh) and Daley Blind (knee) remain absent. Stoke may have lost to United this month, but they can take confidence from a 2-1 win in last season's corresponding fixture in February, their only Barclays Premier League win over United. Hughes, who enjoyed two spells as a player at Old Trafford, has also seen his team beat Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur this term and is sure Stoke can be a threat on New Year's Day. Stoke City (from): Begovic, Butland, Sorensen, Cameron, Huth, Muniesa, Pieters, Shawcross, Teixeira, Wilson, Adam, Assaidi, Ireland, N’Zonzi, Palacios, Whelan, Arnautovic, Bojan, Crouch, Diouf, Walters.
