Jorge Salinas is of interest to Manchester United(Image: 2024 Soccrates Images B.V.) 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.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the 3. liga - CFL B contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. Jablonec II will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. Mladá Boleslav II will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. 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.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Jablonec II and Mladá Boleslav II have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. His passing display at the World Cup was yet more evidence of his suitability for City and the possession-heavy style Maresca favours.

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. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Newcastle United's Lewis Hall is on the club's radar as they look to plan for life without Luke Shaw, while Shakhtar Donetsk's Kaua Elias has reportedly been scouted as a centre-forward alternative.

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 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. More than just three points is on the line at the home ground — this is a fixture that could shape the narrative of both clubs' seasons. Important qualities given that Bournemouth will expect him to be proactive.
