This is a proper derby day atmosphere.
It feels as though there is a little extra oomph to the noise after the horrible news we heard earlier today.
The city of Manchester lost one of its most treasured men, Ricky Hatton, this morning.
The teams have now emerged from the tunnel, and they are now making their way to teh centre circle for a minute's applause in Hatton's honour.
There is an extra element of emotion to this one now.
Lammens has been facing some shots from his new teammates before kick-off on the off-chance he’s needed today.
