Few Premier League matches have been so eagerly-awaited as the meeting of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and the Manchester United of Jose Mourinho on Saturday afternoon.
Clashing styles and big personalities are just the tip of a match that could go a long way to settling the title's destination in an age-old dispute between two neighbours in the richest league in the world.
Dropping the first derby of the season into round four of the fixture list, right after an international break, the Premier League knew it was setting up a mouthwatering encounter early in the campaign.
While broadcast on Sky Sports for the pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher to analyse and dissect, the cheapest ticket in the 75,000 seater arena comes at just 37 euros, with the highest price being 69 euros.
However, re-sale values on these seats have reached four figures as fans offer to fork out huge amounts to watch the action from the touchline.
A match ticket is only one aspect of the day, of course, as a programme, official jersey, and cup of tea will set you back a combined 80 euros.
Sergio Aguero may be missing from the pitch, but there will be thousands on the edge of their seats and millions more worldwide very interested in a small part of Salford come Saturday lunchtime./ShikoNews
