Gareth Southgate was in Anfield's posh seats. So, too, were a raft of club legends. It was a night when everyone wanted to watch Liverpool, particularly one man in a long coat and Baker Boy hat.
Pep Guardiola tried to make himself inconspicuous when he arrived on Merseyside to conduct a scouting mission. He was caught by television cameras before kick-off, smiling and shaking hands, looking every inch a man without a care in the world.
When the time came for him to head home, Guardiola would have departed with a headache induced by the countless riddles he knows he must solve. Liverpool eviscerated Stoke on Tuesday night to leave Manchester City's manager under no illusions about the task that awaits on Saturday.
