Leeds half-back Blake Austin pulls off a fabulous 40-20 to take the Rhinos deep into Saints territory.

As they get the ball back too, can they make it count?

Leeds take the ball to halfway before booting it deep to St Helens.

The champions run hard at the Rhinos' defence but come up again and again against a blue wall of defenders.

In the best kind of way this game is getting chaotic.

It’s brilliant end-to-end stuff.

Who will hold their nerve?

The sides trade sets in centre field, before Jonny Lomax makes a dart for the line and is tackled just short.

It was the last tackle and Leeds start a set near their own line.

A first sustained attack from Leeds. Richie Myler hangs a kick up and Leeds somehow win it back.

But as they swing the ball to the right Zane Tetevano knocks on.

Frustration for Rohan Smith in his box in the stands. That was an opportunity having earned an extra set.

That Matty Lees try was the fastest in a Grand Final, according to BBC Radio 5 live commentator Matt Newsum.

St Helens have started really fast - but so did Wigan last week and Leeds withstood wave after wave of attack before turning the game around in the second half.

Can they keep the Saints at bay?

Prior to kick-off, the Leeds fans were certainly much louder than their St Helens counterparts in the Stretford End opposite.

But that Matty Lees try has just changed things.

I sense a bit of edginess to the Leeds fans now but the atmosphere is raucous, either way.

What an amazing start for St Helens and it was as a result of the penalty conceded.

It was a nice sweeping move and the inside defence just couldn’t get there to cover as Lomax made the right decision and it was fantastic support play from Matty Lees.

Fantastic opening try.

Early penalty for St Helens as Tommy Makinson is caught by a high tackle from former team-mate James Bentley. This will give the champions good field position.

I can’t see anything but something really exciting, dramatic, thrilling and exciting.

A red-hot Leeds team against a wonderfully consistent St Helens team.

It could go either way tonight.

Here's a reminder of tonight's two line-ups.

St Helens: Bennison, Makinson, Hurrell, Percival, Hopoate, Welsby, Lomax, Paasi, Roby, Lees, Batchelor, Sironen, Knowles.

Interchanges: Mata'utia, Lussick, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wingfield.

Leeds: Myler, Briscoe, Hardaker, Sutcliffe, Handley, Austin, Smith, Oledzki, O'Connor, Prior, Martin, Bentley, Tetevano.

Interchanges: Thompson, Walters, Leeming, Donaldson.

And we're off. St Helens get us under way and Leeds will have the ball first. Mikolaj Oledzki takes the ball forward for the Rhinos.

Look down the list of recent meetings between these sides and it's fair to say it's a fixture that St Helens have dominated.

Saints have won their past 11 games against Leeds in all competitions, with the Rhinos' last win coming way back on 16 March 2018.

However, the sides have also met in four Grand Finals, all of which were won by Leeds - in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011.

One thing Saints have in their locker is I think they have another level in them.

If they up the intensity, I'm not sure Leeds can contain that.

But if they are a bit off, Leeds can certainly trouble them.

It has all the ingredients for a cracking game.

The flames go up and the fireworks go off. The players make their way out of the tunnel.

The noise ratchets up a level.

Kick-off is only moments away.

The Super League trophy has been brought out on to the Old Trafford pitch by former Wigan player Terry O'Connor, whose son Jarrod is in the Leeds line-up this evening. The players will not be far behind.

It was heaving outside Old Trafford earlier as fans patiently waited to be allowed in.

It's one of the greatest occasions in the British sporting calendar and don't the fans know it?!

As I enjoyed a leisurely walk to the ground, a boat full of St Helens fans sauntered along Salford Quays.

Truth be told, I heard them before I saw them. Not to be outdone, the Leeds fans I saw were in fine fettle as well.

More cliched men than I would call this a 'party atmosphere'. I just think it's rugby league.
