The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, LLWLW in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% reflecting their unpredictability. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. If you're Arsenal and wanting to win the Premier League, and you take six points off those teams, then you're near-on winning the Premier League.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Collina d'Oro may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Winterthur II have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Sure, Scott O’Neil has managed to secure new investment for LIV Golf, but the league will surely operate under certain financial constraints going forward.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. With positions in the 1. Liga Classic - Group 3 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
