Sunday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Liverpool will see the first use of a "Spidercam" after local authorities approved plans.
The camera will suspended on four cables attached to each corner of Old Trafford and it is able to capture action across 360 degrees.
The technology, which first came into usage in the United States in 1984, is used for World Cup, European Championship and Champions League matches.
Sky Sports, who will be broadcasting the match in the UK, are confident that camera will not interfere with play as it will retreat to stadium height whenever the goalkeeper has the ball.
