The highly anticipated Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool, scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Goodison Park, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh.
The match was set to be the last derby at Goodison Park before Everton bids farewell to their iconic stadium. It was expected to be a crucial fixture for Arne Slot’s side, who had been in excellent form, with Everton having triumphed over Liverpool in their previous home encounter last season.
However, an official announcement from Everton confirmed the postponement, citing the severe weather as the reason for the decision. Merseyside Police had already issued advice to avoid non-essential travel in the region due to the storm’s impact.
Amber and red weather warnings have been issued across the UK, with Storm Darragh causing significant disruption, including power outages and hazardous travel conditions. The safety of fans and players was the primary concern, leading to the cancellation of the match.
Everton has yet to confirm when the rescheduled fixture will take place, but further updates are expected to be announced soon. Fans are advised to stay informed as more details become available.
