Liverpool telling its fans to support another club.
But they aren’t urging the Anfield faithful to turn their backs altogether.
Instead, the Reds have called on supporters to turn out and watch nearby Chester tomorrow.
It’s all part of the non-league day initiative designed to get more through the gates at the grassroots level.
Chester play in the Vanamara National League, four leagues below Liverpool.
The Reds, meanwhile, have no game due to the international break.
A Liverpool statement read: “With Liverpool not in action this weekend due to the international break, fans are encouraged to attend Chester FC's clash with Forest Green Rovers as part of the annual Non-League Day.
“The yearly event has become a significant occasion in the football calendar since its launch in 2010 and will mark its seventh season on Saturday.
“Chester are in action at 3pm at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium, a ground where Liverpool’s Academy sides have played regularly in recent seasons.
“They host Forest Green Rovers in a National League game, with tickets priced from £15 for adults, £10 concessions, £5 for 16 to 17-year-olds and £3 for five to 15-year-olds.
“Saturday’s match also sees the launch of a new family zone at the stadium, with exciting activities set to include competitions, entertainment and autograph and photograph opportunities.”
