It's all kicking off this weekend.
And if you're having a punt on Manchester City's first competitive - sort of - fixture of the season, have a quick read of our Pools punting preview.
We've asked our squad of first team writers, the men and women who know their teams best, to give us an insight into what we should be looking out for this weekend.
Stuart Brennan gives his rundown on Sunday's Wembley curtain raiser to the 2019/20 season..
Win, lose or draw?
Liverpool 1 City 3 is a wallet-boosting 12/1 with thepools.com. Both teams will have key players in early stages of pre-season, but that is where City's deeper squad will take effect.
First scorer?
Bernardo Silva has gone close a few times but not scored in pre-season, and he is normally sharp at the start of the season.
thepools.com makes him 7/1 for first scorer and 12/5 to net anytime at Wembley.
Who’s on the naughty step?
Rodri will be the man charged with stemming Liverpool's quick counters, and he replaces Fernandinho as a yellow card waiting to happen.
Who’s on pens?
Probably Gundogan , if he plays - which is a tempting 12/1 first scorer - especially with VAR increasing the likelihood of a spot kick. If not Sterling (9/2 1st scorer, 8/5 anytime) will be itching to take one after his glaring miss vs Wolves in pre-season
Will you keep a clean sheet?
City usually look like conceding, especially against Liverpool! Which is why both teams to score is odds on with thepools.com 4/6.
