Match of the Day previews a fixture from the forthcoming weekend by showing a previous meeting between the chosen sides, and the History of Goal Nets on display in the clip.
This week - two clips of Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City, nearly 20 years apart.
The first clip is a 2-3 City victory from 1973 and there are two things to note.
First, the regular, sturdy, totally unmistakeable White Hart Lane stanchions, then in white.
Secondly, the nets-within-nets that were in vogue at the time. The photo below is of Colchester v Leeds at Layer Road in 1971 and clearly shows the net-within-nets phenomena in all its glory.
The second clip is from 1990. Spurs with Lineker and Gazza in their post-Italia 90 pomp, ran out 3-1 winners between White Hart Lane stanchions now painted blue.
