In the Oberliga - Bremen table, Geestemünde currently occupy 10th and Union Bremen sit 8th, and the context adds genuine weight to what is already an intriguing fixture. Consistency has eluded Geestemünde in recent weeks, with WLDWL in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, LWDDD in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% reflecting their unpredictability. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Geestemünde average 2.56 per game to Union Bremen's 2, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Man City defiant and top of the table - but Anfield delivers its own verdict.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Geestemünde may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Union Bremen have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. Schalke had only 17 per cent of the possession but, having visited the club to interview their charismatic coach Miron Muslic, that is hardly a surprise.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. It is claimed that Old Trafford bosses were told that the Shakhtar ace holds the 'potential to develop into a top-level centre-forward.' It was also said that Elias would slot into United's system well.

On balance, Union Bremen may just have enough to take all three points. A 3-4 away win would not be a shock. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. In terms of outgoings, Perri seems closest to an exit, but that will likely have to wait until Trafford's mandated holiday after the World Cup is over or a No 2 arrives.
