The Premier League 2022-23 fixtures are out - and fans won't have to wait long for the first clash between North West arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds travel to take on Erik ten Hag's Red Devils on the third weekend of the season (20/21 August), with the reverse fixture coming on the first weekend of March.
Liverpool could hardly have been any more convincing in the teams' two meetings in 2021-22, recording a historic 5-0 victory at Old Trafford - featuring a Mo Salah hat-trick - then winning 4-0 at Anfield.
It goes without saying that Klopp's side will enter the campaign with title ambitions once again, having pushed Manchester City all the way last term - ultimately falling short by a single point on the final day.
And the Reds have a new star up front, having just secured the signing of prolific Uruguayan youngster Darwin Nunez from Benfica - in a deal set to break their transfer record.
United have yet to do do any business this window, but it should be a busy one as Ten Hag starts to put his stamp on the squad; it will need to be following a dismal 2021-22 which saw the 20-time champions of England finish sixth.
