The biggest rivalry in English football will take centre stage this weekend when Manchester United square up against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Both teams are the most successful in English football history, with 20 and 19 league titles respectively.
For the first time in their 175 encounters, the rivals will have Dutch managers in their dugouts.
Eric Ten Hag’s men knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup in the quarter-finals last season and completed the damage by denting their league title hopes with a 2-2 draw in April.
The highly anticipated encounter will kick off at 4 pm on Sunday, live on DStv ch 203 and GOtv ch 66.
Manchester United lost to Brighton Hove Albion in their last match and will aim to end Arne Slot’s perfect start to his Liverpool managerial career.
Slot, in his press conference on Friday said he fully understands the magnitude of the game.
“The atmosphere will be hostile. Every manager that comes to Liverpool knows the importance of the game against United.

“It is similar to the one between Feyenoord and Ajax. This will be my second time at Old Trafford.
“Many of these players have played in this hostile environment before. I only need to prepare them for what to expect from United players because, in my opinion, United play a bit different from the last two seasons,” he said.
