United are one of several Premier League clubs weighing up whether to meet Bologna’s €25m (£21.7m) valuation for Jhon Lucumi, according to Corriere di Bologna.

There is little to choose between Celle Varazze and Ligorna on paper, and the Serie D - Girone A encounter should reflect that balance. It has been a torrid run for the hosts, LL in their last five and a season win rate of just 0% that has the alarm bells ringing. It has been a wretched run on the road for the visitors, L in their last five and a win rate of 0% that explains their lowly standing. The contrast in attacking output — 0.33 versus 1.67 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. Arsenal can move three points clear at the top of the Premier League with a win at Brighton this afternoon.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Celle Varazze may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Ligorna 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.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Coventry are without a point or a goal in their first four matches of the Premier League season.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. The Spaniard heading to Barca all but rules out a midfield departure from the Bernabeu and thus United will likely have to look elsewhere.
