How do I know if a specific user is following a specific channel?

The title says everything. I want to know if user “xy” follows channel “xy” WITHOUT knowing their ID. I know I can get the status with this request: GET https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/<user ID>/follows/channels/<channel ID>
But in this case I would need the users ID witch I dont have. Is there any other possibility to get this status?

With the v5 API which everyone should be moving to for new development you can only use IDs so you will need to look them up first using another API call(s) first.
