Wife Coleen, 38, was seen outside the stadium with their four kids Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass.
The family were wrapped up warm in thick coats as they walked through a car park ahead of the Premier League clash.

The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here runner-up and her children went to watch Wayne’s former club Manchester United lose 2-0 to Newcastle.
Rooney departed Plymouth Argyle this morning after seven months in charge.
The 39-year-old was appointed in May and leaves with the club sat bottom of the Championship, four points from safety.
His last game in charge came on Sunday, where Plymouth were beaten 2-0 by fellow strugglers Oxford.
A statement on the club website said: “Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and head coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect.
“Departing the club with Rooney will be assistant head coach Mike Phelan and first-team coach Simon Ireland.
“First-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and club captain Joe Edwards will lead the team for our Sky Bet Championship match against Bristol City on New Year’s Day.
“Daryl Flahavan will continue as goalkeeping coach.

“The club will be making no further comment at this stage with updates on our new first team management staff in due course.”
It also comes after Rooney hit out at speculation he took a mystery woman back to his flat, insisting “it’s simply not true.”
Trolls claimed a video posted on X showed him letting an unidentified woman into his luxury Plymouth pad.
But he hit out and explained they were actually a couple who had given the football legend a lift home and his son was present at the time.
Posting on his Instagram stories, the angry football icon said: “I am aware of a video circulating online.
“The video shows a man and woman looking around my apartment.
“The couple kindly gave me a lift home and were in there at the same time as my son who was visiting.
“Footage is from last summer, it is annoying that at least one online newspaper has chosen to edit the footage to make it appear has though a woman entered the apartment on her own.
“That is simply not true.”
WAYNE Rooney also today issued a statement after leaving the club.
He said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Plymouth Argyle Football Club, in particular Simon Hallett and Neil Dewsnip who I shared great relationships with.
“Thanks also to all the staff who made me feel welcome and who make the club such a special place, the players and fans for their efforts and support during my time as Head Coach and I wish them all the best for the future.
“To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that we will share forever.
“I would also like to give a special mention to my coaching staff Kevin Nancekivell, Simon Ireland, Darryl Flahavan and Mike Phelan for their knowledge, dedication, help and support.
“Plymouth Argyle will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to look out for and take interest in their results.”
In the video, Wazza – wearing a grey tracksuit – unlocks a door to his rented luxury apartment in Plymouth as an unidentified woman stands waiting.
Rooney is then filmed walking past a huge flatscreen TV, with the camera later panning around to show a kitchen and dining table.
A woman can be heard saying “What time does it end?” while a man holds a blue baseball cap saying “this is the hat that he wears all the time”.
Another video shows the guests looking around Rooney’s bedroom and huge ensuite bathroom, with the girl saying “Wow” while the man says “Oh my f***ing god”.
A club spokesman confirmed the apartment videos were not recent as Rooney spent Saturday evening with his team in a hotel near Oxford’s ground preparing for the game.
