FRIDAY Night Football is a real cracker tonight as Chelsea welcome Liverpool to Stamford Bridge.
Both sides watched on enviously as their fellow Premier League teams competed in Europe in midweek, and they will be desperate to make sure it will be them next season.
Chelsea are unbeaten in the league so far this season, with three wins and one draw. Liverpool, meanwhile, have two wins and a draw, with one defeat coming against Burnley.
Here's all you need to know ahead of the clash.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be shown on Sky Sports 1, kick off is 8pm but the pre-match analysis means the programme starts at 6.30pm.
If you can't make it to a TV, you can follow live updates from the game here on SunSport.
Team news
CHELSEA: David Luiz will start for Chelsea in place of captain John Terry when they host Liverpool.
Defender Terry suffered an ankle injury during the 2-2 draw with Swansea on Sunday and was ruled out for around 10 days.
Boss Antonio Conte confirmed Luiz would make his first appearance for Chelsea since his £34million deadline-day switch from Paris Saint-Germain in Terry's absence.
LIVERPOOL: Defender Dejan Lovren is expected to return to the starting line-up to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge after an eye injury.
The Croatia centre-back missed Saturday's 4-1 win over Leicester after sustaining a badly-bruised eye in training and midfielder Lucas Leiva had to deputise.
Midfielder Emre Can is back in training after an ankle problem but is not yet match fit, while manager Jurgen Klopp has to decide whether to bring back Philippe Coutinho after he was rested following a long trip back from international duty with Brazil.
Predicted line-ups
Chelsea likely (4-1-4-1): Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Kante, Matic, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa.
Liverpool likely (4-1-2-3): Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Milner, Lallana, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho.

Key men
Chelsea: DIEGO COSTA looks like the striker of old. After a disappointing time of it last season, the Spanish frontman bagged two goals against Swansea in the last game, and looks back to his swashbuckling best. He will also be hoping to rile the Liverpool defence into making mistakes.
Liverpool: With doubts over whether Philippe Coutinho is fit to return to the team, much of the attacking prowess will be provided by SADIO MANE. He collected a goal and an assist in the 4-1 hammering of Leicester, and appears to have formed a good understanding with Robert Firminho up top.
