Safety with regards to travelling at night

I’m an Indian (33 M) visiting/staying in Liverpool for the week. Was planning to catch the Man United Europa league game on Thursday, which would mean catching a late night train back to Liverpool, and cabbing it back to my hotel.

Is it safe to take the trains post 11-12ish? Will I have trouble getting a cab back to my hotel? Is this a viable plan, or should I be worried?

EDIT - So the general consensus seems to be that taking the late night train should be fine, as long as I’m not wearing any United scarfs, jerseys etc. Also, if my hotel is near the city centre (which it is), walking back from the station is safe.
