Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory are preparing to do battle in Saturday night's A-League Men grand final.
Notably, the local rivals will face off for the first time in the decider.
City will look to add to their sole championship, while Victory have a chance to match Sydney with a record five grand final triumphs.
While the trophy and the chance to etch themselves in the history books are the main prizes at stake, will there be any financial rewards on offer?

A-League Men grand final prize money
There is set to be no prize money on offer at this year's grand final.
Cash winnings have not been offered in the competition since its inception.
Football Australia – previously Football Federation Australia – explained in 2018 that it was not feasible.
"It is a worthy aspiration for the league and should be introduced when affordable," former FFA CEO David Gallop told The Daily Telegraph.
"In recent times, we have focused on increases to the club grants that are now $3.5 million with a salary cap of $3 million. The grants are made to all clubs."
The league currently implements a 'soft cap' of $2.55 million.
By the 2026/27 season, a 'hard cap' of $3 million will be installed, with one marquee player permitted outside the cap.
Additional prize money to premiers or champions has not been announced.
