The official matchday programme for the 222nd Merseyside derby is on sale now.

Brendan Rodgers shares his views from the heart of Melwood in his regular column and we also have an exclusive interview with skipper Steven Gerrard, who reflects on his derby memories and looks forward to the latest instalment.

Goalkeeper Brad Jones takes our 20 Questions challenge and we hear the views of two leading Liverpool boxers hoping for a different outcome. In the red corner is light middleweight ace Liam Smith and in the blue, cruiserweight Tony Bellew.

Actor Neil Fitzmaurice shares his thoughts on one of the biggest derbies in years, while former defender and LFC TV regular Gary Gillespie analyses where the game can be won.

We also have the latest from the Reds' Academy and a nostalgic look back at some derbies from yesteryear.

There is all this and much, much more, so make a point of picking up a copy of the latest issue of This Is Anfield, priced £3.
