Liverpool v Man City (15:45 GMT)
Anfield was built for days like today. Fans have been gathering for hours and there is already an electric atmosphere on the streets around the famous ground.
The route the two coaches carrying the teams is already thronged with supporters and red smoke from flares can be seen rising into the air near the ground.
Liverpool have the best home record in the Premier League and are unbeaten in front of their own fans in the competition since October 2022.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 20 games in all competitions.
Will home advantage play a part today?
