Derby - besides the Derbyshire city home to the Derby County team - really just means teams that are geographically close to each other. The soccerball calendar is so crammed full with useless games (Nations League
) already, there's just no time for extra tours anymore. While teams will play a number of pre-season friendlies, these are virtually never against close geographic rivals.
The game in question was a make-up game from round 15 of the Prem that was postponed due to a severe storm warning when it was scheduled. The Irish Sea, which Liverpool sits next to, can be rough.
