As Peoples Bus run Soccerbus and Stagecoach run city centre to Anfield will there be many people who can't get to the Merseyside derby by bus or bus & train?

Nope, although if previous strike days are anything to go by, the 263 is likely to be running to some extent anyway. Sagecoach's 250 used to get pretty busy on the few occasions that I drove it, but Metrolink seems to be the more popular mode of travel. Like most services in the area, the 263 would divert down Talbot Road around match times, so would almost run past the Old Trafford Metrolink stop anyway.
