Manchester United and Chelsea meet in Moscow on Wednesday to contest the UEFA Champions League final, a match which can be seen live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1 and ITV.
The first all-English final promises to be an epic encounter as United look to secure their second Champions League success, while Chelsea are making their debut on the grandest stage of Europe's premier club competition.
United, who also lifted the old European Cup in 1968, will be hoping to paint Red Square an even stronger shade of crimson after the final whistle in the Luzhniki Stadium following a nine-year absence from the Champions League final.
However, Chelsea are out for revenge after being narrowly pipped to the Premier League crown by their domestic rivals and much has been made as to whether United's 10th top flight title will whet the appetite or hamper the Red Devils' digestion of more silverware.
In a style befitting Moscow, both United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Chelsea boss Avram Grant will have strategically drawn their battle plans as they bid to avoid defeat in Russian territory which has accounted for many military generals throughout history.
