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.

Both camps will view the Premier League meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts have been steady if unspectacular, WLDWW in their last five reflecting a win rate of 40%. Masr travel in decent nick, WDW in their last five and a win rate of 40% this season. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. Arsenal can move three points clear at the top of the Premier League with a win at Brighton this afternoon.

Stylistically, this is a compelling matchup. El Mokawloon favour a patient, possession-based approach, whereas Masr are at their most dangerous when allowed to hit quickly on the counter. It meant City had a three-man defence of Josko Gvardiol, Abdukodir Khusanov and Ruben Dias when in possession.

All eyes will be on the league's leading marksman Mahmoud Mamdouh, whose 3 goals this season make him the standout threat and a player capable of deciding the outcome on his own. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. As things stand, however, the priorities are improving the forward line with a new wide attacker and a No 9.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With positions in the Premier League table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Manchester City will begin another Premier League season with major uncertainty hanging over the club after league chief executive Richard Masters admitted the long-awaited verdict on their financial case has taken longer than expected.
