The players enter the pitch with a huge roar from all four stands and it has got me pumped up.
Sadly I have to listen to the Premier League anthem briefly, but all is made right as techno music is blasted out.
The only problem is, only a few hours ago my colleague Luke slandered me for ability... he is just trying to be nice now.
Anyway, you guys don't really care about how well I can play the sport I am reporting on, or maybe you do.
The professional stars I am paid to cover are now just moments away from talking to the pitch as the atmosphere cracks up.
It's easy to say for the manager whose playing style is ripped to pieces, but it's clear that Postecoglou stands behind his philosophy. Worth listening to his views in this clip where he defends his attacking style. This man isn't going to change.
Well, we've got a lovely video of Liverpool arriving in the stadium and the one thing that stands out to me is the sheer quantity of gum being gnawed on.
Does it provide a psychological advantage? Is it filled with nutrients? Perhaps there's a feature idea in this - how Arne Slot has Liverpool firing thanks to a gum revolution.
As for this game, Liverpool have reverted to a more familiar line-up after their Carabao Cup win at Southampton in midweek and I am interested in the continued exclusion of central defender Jarell Quansah.
He almost went to the Euros with England – he was in the original squad – and started the first game of Arne Slot’s tenure at Ipswich back in August. But he was hooked at half-time and has hardly been seen since.
Spurs come in for a lot of mockery and they don't help themselves. Fans have been forced to see a bizarre marketing stunt surrounding the hit Netflix show 'Squid Game' at the stadium.
Check this out. Tottenham have won just two of their last 25 games against Liverpool. Yes, you read that right. Two. They've lost 17 of those. it was, put simply, no fun playing against Jurgen Klopp for the north Londoners.
The fact that Liverpool have lost only one of their 24 games in all competitions this campaign stacks the odds against Spurs even more.
Alexander-Arnold joined the Men in Blazers podcast this week and talked of building a 'legacy'. You can read his comments either way, either as encouragement that he'll stay or the opposite.
'Of course, winning more trophies. But on a personal level it is building a legacy. That is something that is important,' he said.
Asked what he meant by that, he clarified: 'Just being spoken about in the highest regard, especially after you've finished [playing]. In 10 or 15 years, if I'm spoken about as one of the best right backs or the best right back then that's what I'm playing for now and using it as motivation.'
The Premier League constantly throws up surprises, though maybe United being hammered is not much of a shock these days. Ruben Amorim had not lost a league game all year at Sporting CP. Hasn't been so smooth at United.
This time last week he had not started a game for the club. Now he is about to start his third in eight days, ahead of Destiny Udogie and up against Mo Salah and the PL leaders.
He has stepped up very well when needed by Ange Postecoglou, who obviously was not convinced he would be good enough. This is his biggest test.
He's the man of the moment for Tottenham, slotting in ever so well at the back as they battle an injury crisis. leeds had a talent on their hands, Spurs snatched it, and now they are reaping the rewards from this versatile college-age starlet.
Postecoglou must have liked what he saw against Manchester United because he has taken the bold step of naming the exact same team three days later to face a much-refreshed Liverpool side.
Of course, his options are limited. Archie Gray starts again as a makeshift centre-back - not that you'd be able to tell that he doesn't usually play there from his performances so far.
Several changes from their Carabao Cup win over Southamtpon but just the one from last weekend, with Alexis Mac Allister in for Curtis Jones.
Mohamed Salah has the chance to set another Premier League record today, as he could become the first star in the competition's history to record double figures for goals and assists before Christmas Day.
Who knows, with his future up in the air, it could be his last chance to bag this record.
It's easy to forget that Liverpool won 26 of their first 27 games that season, drawing the other. Their first defeat was 3-0 at the hands of... Watford. Somehow they don't hold a league record points total, but still, it was a phenomenal team.
A rare admission emerged from the mouth of Arne Slot in midweek as he said that he would like to see Ange Postecoglou win a trophy - just not in any competition that Liverpool are in, though.
'Just be happy that we have managers like him that want to play this brand of football and that is why even I hope he wins something,' said Slot.
With Chelsea currently drawing at Everton, this could represent an opportunity to Arne Slot's men to extend their Premier League advantage.
And how much they'll want that. The Reds have faltered slightly in recent weeks, drawing with Newcastle and Fulham.
