The biggest match of the season in European football takes place at this time when Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium for a direct battle for the Premier League title.
One is chasing Treble, the other is after a quadruple and it all comes six days before another battle in the FA Cup semi-final, and who knows maybe even a meeting in the Champions League final.
The champion's 14-point advantage, which has been reduced to just one point and two teams that come in peak form and are connected perhaps more than ever.
City come into the match after maintaining a clean sheet six times in their last eight games and knowing that their home record against the Mighty Reds stands at seven wins, three draws and a single loss in the last 11 games.
Klopp's side come away with a streak of eight consecutive away victories in all competitions, which is a club record and with the spirit of the fact that when the league's top two teams have met in the last ten seasons, the team in second place has won five of them.
Another amazing statistic shows that whoever scores the first goal may win the championship.
City have won all 23 league games as they have taken the lead this season, but Liverpool have also yet to experience a loss after leading, with 22 wins and 5 draws.
Whoever waited for the game of the season, received it in all its glory.
