Yeah, it's really strange.

Thankfully, all the safety issues have been kind of sorted out.

And it's vital Merseyside derbies are played within the city.

That's what all the fans would have wanted.

So it's good to see this being played at Goodison Park.

But I remember when I played in Merseyside derbies for Everton, home advantage was important.

Of course, playing at Goodison, you know the environment.

Home fans were a huge advantage as well.

They really got behind you.

They were the 12th man and you needed that sometimes in those games.

So for us, I think the lack of fans is the big problem there.

Being at home is great.

Lack of fans is a big problem.

So I feel that Liverpool probably have the advantage going into the game, but it's the first game back.

We're not sure about fitness levels of all the players, how they're going to respond to the empty stadiums.

There's a lot of questions unanswered, but I'm just really pleased that the game is being played in the city.

And Gary, obviously the footballing public is wondering how the games are going to play out with no fans there.

Have you incorporated any kind of different training sessions for the players to get them maybe accustomed to what they're going to face when the matches start?

And how close do you think to kind of normal football is the football that we're going to see?

If you go back to March, how Millwall were playing, you've had a tremendous season.
