A sea of Liverpool supporters took over Federation Square earlier in the day decked out in red and chanting club songs.
It is the first time Liverpool has toured Australia and a sell out crowd of around 95,000 will fill the MCG to watch the historic match.
"To be honest it's a great club, a massive club and it doesn't surprise me to see so many people here," one Liverpool fan said.
"To see them on the other side of the world in front of a massive crowd is just amazing."
Even those in the Victory camp are excited to see the reds in Australia.
None more so than lifelong Liverpool supporter, Melbourne coach Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou will put a line through one major event on his bucket list later today as his side plays host to the Merseyside club.
Coaching against the English Premier League giants caps off a remarkable few days, after steering the A-League All-Stars against Manchester United.
The sellout clash at the MCG is clearly a labour of love for Postecoglou.
He fell under the spell of Liverpool's 1970s and 1980s teams, boasting the likes of Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, then Ian Rush and Australian Craig Johnston
Postecoglou met Johnston on Tuesday - one of Australia's finest football exports speaking to Victory players about what they might expect.
It was also a massive moment for Postecoglou, knowing how far he and Australian football have come.
"But the English first division seemed a million miles away and for a young Aussie boy, you just didn't envisage how you could bring that world closer.
"When Craig went to Liverpool, it just got the hairs on the back of the neck rising and realising that dream could come true.
"We've got some players who are going to play the game of their life.
"We're involved in a game that's truly global. This game throws up unbelievable situations, and it has for me in the last seven days.
"I really enjoyed Saturday night. Obviously we got beaten by a world-class opponent, but I really enjoy the fact we know what world-class football looks like, and the Australian public got to see what world-class football looks like."
