Individual quality could tip the balance. The league's leading scorer Jesper Middelkamp, with 1 goals to his name this season, is a reminder of the firepower on display. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Aston Villa have beaten Newcastle to the signing of Johan Manzambi after completing a club-record £59.5m deal for the midfielder from Freiburg.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. Backed by home advantage and superior form, TOGB ought to prevail — a 2-1 victory looks the logical call. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the KNVB Beker picture. The 22-year-old was likely quite high up on the list of United's midfield targets and potentially even higher after Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blows.
