Rush will take over under centre for the Falcons as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, with the team’s quarterback situation taking an unexpected turn heading into the season opener.

A glance at the Oberliga - Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar table tells the story: Ahrweiler in 16th and Elversberg II in 15th, with positions to defend and places to climb. The hosts have found wins hard to come by, LDLWL across their last five telling the story of a win rate of 8.33%. Elversberg II have blown hot and cold, LDLWD across their last five and a season win rate of 25%. Where Ahrweiler have built their campaign on solidity, Elversberg II have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. The fact that Oxford ultimately fell five points short of the total needed to stay in the Championship shows that it would have required top-half - almost play-off - form during the second half of the season.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Ahrweiler may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Elversberg II have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. But this approach also takes something that is almost anonymous in football - time.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. The Eagles have reportedly submitted an offer to sign the player.It remains to be seen whether Crystal Palace’s interest prompts Liverpool or Manchester United to come forward with an official proposal.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. Elversberg II look well-equipped to take the points on the road, with a 1-2 victory well within their reach. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the Oberliga - Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar picture. City were met with a hostile atmosphere at Anfield in the wake of their guilty verdict on 114 Premier League financial regulations violations.
