When Everton rock up at St James' Park to face Newcastle on Wednesday night, all eyes will be focused on the opposing dugouts.
There will be a conciliatory handshake between the two managers, a brief recognition, and then they will part to take their place on their respective benches.
For Rafa Benitez and Sam Allardyce it will be business as usual, a desperation to get the three points and boost their survival chances.
But they'd be forgiven for letting a personal agenda get in the way of the collective need for a win.
