NewsMerseyside derby postponed on safety grounds
Liverpool FC can confirm today’s Premier League fixture against Everton at Goodison Park, scheduled for a 12.30pm kick-off, has been postponed.
This is due to severe weather and high winds, which have also resulted in severe travel disruption in and around Merseyside.
Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting this morning at Goodison Park, attended by officials from both clubs, as well as representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council, it was decided that due to the risk to safety in the local area, and the amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6am on Sunday, today’s match is postponed on safety grounds.
We appreciate this will be deeply disappointing for supporters, but the safety of fans, staff and players is of paramount importance.
Information relating to a rearranged date for the fixture, including ticketing, will be announced in due course.
