Club football is back this midweek, coming in the form of the Carabao Cup in England as Manchester City and Liverpool battle it out in the last 16 of this competition.
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have been involved in some classics over the years, so this League Cup game will well and truly make it feel like club football is back and like the World Cup is a distant memory.
Both sides will, though, be a little depleted because of the World Cup and the fact that several players are still on holiday, but that just makes it extra interesting.
So, stay tuned on this Manchester City vs Liverpool live blog as we bring you all the updates you need from this match at the Etihad Stadium.
