Liverpool v Manchester United, the biggest game in English football, as the TV ratings globally will show you.
It's the first fixture that United fans look forward too, often ahead of the derby game v Manchester City. For those traveling fans it's a game that can't be enjoyed, until it's safe in the knowledge that the game is won, nobody wants to lose.
There is nothing worse than losing at Anfield and those that visited in 1992 will tell you that losing the league there was one of the worst ever feelings. United fans can now turn up and gloat, the record 20 league titles in United's cabinet ensures it's a long time since the boasts from Liverpool fans about their 18 titles to United's 7. It's now United who sit top of that perch and its Liverpool fans who look on with envy. They try and tell you about their 5 European Cups, yet it's Madrid who sit top of that perch with 11 wins, that's the record everyone wants.
As Liverpool fans used to tell you when they held their 18-7 advantage "it's the league that counts", but that shout seems to have gone very quiet from the Kopites these days.
Whilst it was never going to be a title decider, the media build up was once again all giddy as Liverpool were hailed up there with Brazil and Barcelona. The English media desperate for a Liverpool FC title.
Jose's United honeymoon is well and truly over according to the same media, after 3 defeats in various competitions and a home draw with Stoke there was even crisis talk by some outlets, with the Twitter doom merchants writing off Rooney, Pogba and the manager himself.
Monday Night football meant a Sky TV debut for Ryan Giggs and his pre match comments focused on Fergie's teams of the past being sent out to silence the Anfield crowd, yet the modern day fan who inhabits the home ends of most English stadia these days does that automatically. The Karaoke sing along to "You'll never walk alone" is now a ritual for the tourist fan, singing along to the stadium PA system, compared to once being sung spontaneously by the crowd. Once the PA system turns off then the crowd on the whole is silent, the extra 8,000 seats in the new Anfield stand being filled by tourists, rather than any local fans or fans with a passion to sing.
The once fear factor for visiting United fans who had to watch their backs as they approached the away turnstiles has gone and you're more likely to be stopped for a selfie than to be asked the time by a local (a local technique for assessing your accent in order to pick a fight).
The game itself played out like a game of chess, neither team wanting to lose the battle and it was probably viewed as a fair result by both sides. Not exactly the spectacle of football that the world's TV audience had tuned in to see.
Attention soon turned to Thursday night. The Europa League isn't viewed as a priority by United fans, yet Old Trafford provided the competition's biggest ever crowd for a group stage game. The game soon became the Paul Pogba show as the young Frenchman dominated the game and capped his performance with a stunning strike. United played well, Wayne Rooney needed the minutes and Luke Shaw returned from injury ahead of the weekend's key game.
The highlight of the night went to the Old Trafford crowd, who rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation to Robin Van Persie following his consolation goal. United fans on the whole always respect their former players, but even the football greats get acknowledged by the United faithful, with the Brazilian Ronaldo once being given the same ovation after scoring a hat trick for Madrid and knocking United out of the European Cup. Van Persie played a big part in title number 20 and United fans won't forget that.
Attention now turns to Jose's return to Stamford Bridge, a game nobody will want to lose. Can the master get one over on his former club? United fans will let the Chelsea crowd know that Jose is our man now.
Chelsea fans will have mixed love for the man who delivered them titles. It's all set for a great atmosphere and another game that will be viewed around the globe.
United are box office and Jose will once again have the leading role.
