Five-time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan set up an intriguing contest against Shaun Murphy by reaching his seventh UK Championship final.
The two Englishmen have not seen eye-to-eye during their careers and Murphy beat O'Sullivan at last month's invitational Champion of Champions event.
O'Sullivan held off a semi-final fightback from Stephen Maguire to progress 6-4, while Murphy was in fine form as he defeated Ryan Day 6-3.
Sunday's best-of-19 final starts at 13:00 GMT and concludes from 19:00, live on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website.
Back in 2011, Murphy called opponent O'Sullivan "pathetic, offensive and unprofessional" after he initially refused to pot the final black on a 147 break because of the "disappointing" £4,000 on offer for the maximum.
Nottingham's Murphy, though, apologised for comments he has made about O'Sullivan in the past after triumphing in Coventry in November.
O'Sullivan, 42, responded on Saturday by saying: "There has never been anything between me and Shaun, I have never had a problem with him.
"I don't care what anyone thinks about me on the tour. There are some nice guys who are cool but for the majority, I don't care what they think.
"I am here to do a job, here to play, I know I am a nice guy, there are no issues." (BBC)
