The date of the biggest fixture in English football has been rearranged.
The season's first clash between Liverpool and Manchester United has been selected by Sky Sports as the headline of their Super Sunday coverage.
Originally planned for October 18th, the Anfield fixture has now been moved to the 19th of October at 4.30pm.
It follows Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa which will be played at 2pm that same day.
Manchester United and Liverpool are the two most successful clubs in the history of the English game, boasting close to 50 league titles between them.
This October's clash is likely to be one of the most anticipated in years, as Arne Slot's champions take on a new-look Reds under Ruben Amorim.
Two of the summer's biggest signings will also be lining up against each other.
Liverpool spent more than £100 million on Florian Wirtz at the start of the window, while the Red Devils dropped £74 million on Benjamin Sesko, beating back fierce competition from Newcastle.
By the 19th of October, both sides will have had the time to fully integrate all of their signings into the fold and should be hitting top form.
With Manchester United still on the hunt for revenge for the 7-0 drubbing they suffered back in 2023, it's set to be a clash for the ages.
