Sky Sports have been hyping the absolute shit out of it, Managers and players have been going back and forth in the press, and the fans have been bickering non-stop in anticipation, but it's finally time to let the football do the talking.
The teams have been named for Liverpool vs Manchester United, and the main talking point is that Wayne Rooney has not yet won his place back, with Ashley Young called into the starting lineup. Anthony Martial was left out of the squad due to a 'minor' knee injury, and Henrik Mkhitaryan is yet to regain fitness.
For Liverpool, they have managed to keep the side that has been playing so well in recent times together with Milner starting at left back, and that terrifying front four of Countinho, Firmino, Mane, and Sturridge.
Here are the teams:
