It’s all kicking off on Sky Sports - and that’s just the pundits

One of the biggest games in football is underway at Anfield this afternoon with neighbours Manchester United making the short trip to take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

The rivalry between the two sides is famously fractious, with red cards and rows a regular feature.

Today’s game marks a new departure though, with the sniping starting before the game had even kicked off.

In the Sky Sports studio, ex-Liverpool players Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness are joined by United legend Peter Schmeichel and it’s clear the three men haven’t left their old rivalries behind.

Schmeichel thinks Neville might get the Man Utd job, Carragher cracks a funny. Nobody hears him. Shame.https://t.co/BW9guxSMh7

Viewers have broken out the popcorn and are thoroughly enjoying the tension.

Loving the hostility between carra & Schmeichel 😂 and always love the YNWA before a match! Even as a blue!

The pundits each have fans and detractors.

@edfollettmusic Peter Schmeichel has never lost a game of Trivial Pursuit! https://t.co/1ByHOW4sJm

Schmeichal: #MUFC manager could be Gary Neville who is at Valencia now

Carragher: Not the way he's going#banter

Here’s hoping for a good game on the pitch, but if not at least we can look forward to more fireworks at full-time.
