CARLING CUP FOURTH ROUND - QPR

United host Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday 11 November (KO 20:00 GMT) in the Carling Cup fourth round. QPR are without a permanent manager since parting company with Iain Dowie last month and seem likely to arrive at Old Trafford next Tuesday with player-coach Gareth Ainsworth holding the reins. The cup tie promises to be a tough test for the visitors' caretaker boss, especially if United field a similar side to the one which blended youth and experience in beating Middlesbrough in the last round.

PREMIER LEAGUE BALLOT RESULTS Promoted Stoke City served up a treat when they beat Arsene Wenger's Arsenal 2-1 at the Britannia Stadium. Both of those sides face United this month - no doubt Sir Alex Ferguson will have had last Saturday's match monitored to assess their strengths and weaknesses. Arsenal will now need to recover quickly ahead of United's visit this coming weekend (Saturday 8 November, KO 12:45 GMT) but they will be without striker Robin van Persie who was sent off at Stoke. Tickets have now sold out for this game but ballot results can still be obtained by calling 0161 868 8000 and selecting option 1. Stoke come to Old Trafford on Saturday 15 November (KO 15:00 GMT) and while all tickets have now been sold, any supporter who applied and wishes to obtain ballot results for this game can do so by calling 0161 868 8000.

PREMIER LEAGUE AWAY - ASTON VILLA Monday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle saw Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa lose for the third time this season and miss out on the chance to overtake United in the Barclays Premier League. The Villans have otherwise enjoyed a decent season so far and they could give United a sterner test than usual at Villa Park on Saturday 22 November (KO 17:30 GMT). The Reds could extend their unbeaten run in games against Villa to 23! We will receive an allocation of approximately 2800 tickets, priced £35 for adults and £21 for under-16s and over-65s. The deadline for Executive applications has now passed but Season Ticket holders who have attended the Villarreal, Middlesbrough and Celtic cup games can now apply online for this game or apply by calling 0161 868 8000 option 1 by 20:00 GMT Wednesday 5 November.

PREMIER LEAGUE AWAY - MAN CITY Much has changed in Manchester since the local rivals last met. City have seen new owners come in and a new manager take the reins, while United have become Champions of Europe and Champions of England once again. All that will be forgotten though when the Reds visit Eastlands on Sunday 30 November (KO 13:30 GMT) as both teams aim to claim the derby-day bragging rights. We will receive an allocation of approximately 2,700 tickets priced £36 for adults, £22 for over-65s and £10 for under-16s. Executive Members can now make an application for this game either by post or by calling 0161 868 8000 and selecting option 1 until 20:00 GMT on Friday 7 November. Qualifying Season Ticket holders can then apply online or call 0161 868 8000 option 1 from 08:00 GMT Monday 10 November through to 08:00 GMT Wednesday 12 November.

PREMIER LEAGUE HOME - SUNDERLAND A disappointing 5-0 defeat to league leaders Chelsea at the weekend was not the response that Roy Keane had in mind for Sunderland after their midweek loss to Stoke City. This latest defeat means the Black Cats have now only taken five points from their last five games. Former Reds captain Keane will want a big improvement before he returns to Old Trafford on Saturday 6 December (KO 17:30 GMT). One United Members can now apply online for this game or call 0161 868 8000 option 1. Tickets are not issued on a first come, first served basis so should we be oversubcribed, a ballot will take place to determine the successful applicants. There are also some superb hospitality packages available for this game. For more information, please check online, call 0161 868 8000 or email hospitality@manutd.co.uk.

PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURE CHANGES Two of United's January home fixtures have been changed for live television coverage. United's game against Chelsea will be moved from Saturday 11 January to Sunday 12 January, kick off 16:00 GMT (live on Sky). The match against Everton will be moved from Saturday 31 January to Monday 2 February, kick off 20:00 GMT (live on Setanta Sports) but this is subject to neither Everton nor United having to play FA Cup Fourth Round replays. If one or both of the teams are involved in a cup replay, the game will return to its original date with a kick-off time to be confirmed. The Reds have two other home matches that are yet to be rescheduled due to the club's participation in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. The home games against Fulham and Wigan will be rescheduled in due course but supporters are advised to monitor ManUtd.com's fixture list for developments.
