It is Derby day on Merseyside and this is a throwback to how things used to be, as supporters wearing the colours of opposing teams share a festive drink.
Never mind what Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti's men are doing, the fixture that mattered in these parts on Boxing Day was City of Liverpool's tussle with Marine in the Northern Premier League, North West Division.
Tickets for the game sold out four days prior — Marine's allocation of 60 went within eight minutes of being advertised. Pride and three points are at stake but, really, it is impossible to stop thoughts turning elsewhere.
