After breakfast we check-out of our London hotel in readiness for our fast-train travel to Liverpool, with the 350km journey taking just 2 ½ hours. After arriving at our central Liverpool hotel we then have the chance to explore the city centre and visit the venue made famous by the Beetles, the Cavern Club.

This evening marks one of the highlights of any football supporter's life, witnessing Liverpool at home at Anfield!

Scene of so many epic Champions League encounters including the infamous 4-0 semi-final second-leg victory against FC Barcelona in 2019, there are very few football experiences as religion-like as this. Tonight is sure to be a crunch fixture for both teams in what is the penultimate match in the new Champions League league phase format. Tonight's match could well be the difference between gaining an automatic Round-of-16 spot or missing out on the knockout phase altogether. Both sides will have everything to play for, ensuring the atmosphere will be as good as it gets!

This afternoon we will be making our way to Emirates Stadium together where the Gooners faithful will be in full voice in support of their star studded lineup.

Overnight: London (4-star hotel)

Saturday 25 January - Manchester City vs Chelsea @ Etihad Stadium 5:30pm

The red half Manchester, under the guidance of none other than Sir Alex, dominated the English Premier League for two decades between 1992-2013, claiming 13 titles in the process. Tellingly, however, the last two of those titles was interspersed by an infamous City title spectacularly claimed in the final minutes on the final day of the 2011-12. It marked the start of what would become one of the most dominant runs in the Premier League era, with City having since made it a total of 8 titles including 6 of the past 7!

City take on Chelsea in this battle of the heavyweights at the 53,400 seater Etihad Stadium, or more simply the City of Manchester Stadium. Originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the stadium was reconfigured into a rectangular stadium to host Man City plus other sports including international Rugby League.

Overnight: Manchester (4-star hotel)

Sunday 26 January - Tottenham vs Leicester City @ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 2pm

This morning we depart Manchester and travel directly to London for our final match of the tour to see Australia's very own Ange Postecoglou in charge of EPL giants Tottenham at the spectacular new 62,850 capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London.

There is simply no better purpose-built football stadium quite like it in the world! With fans so close to the action and the south end a dedicated standing room only terrace, Spurs have set a new benchmark when it comes to atmosphere and sheer tribal enormity. No matter your team you will be in awe of this incredible stadium and its passionate fans.

This evening we enjoy our final evening together and reminisce over the amazing football we have witnessed and the lifelong memories we will all cherish forever.
