Liverpool Face Another Possible Fixture Postponement Amid Severe Weather

Liverpool, already grappling with one major postponement this season, could see another disruption as severe weather threatens their upcoming showdown with Manchester United.

Earlier in December, the Reds’ league derby against Everton at Goodison Park was postponed due to Storm Darragh. While mid-February has been tentatively marked for that game, this new weather threat raises fresh concerns about scheduling.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United in Jeopardy

Reports from the Evening Standard highlight fears that Sunday’s match at Anfield may not go ahead as planned. The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for Merseyside, with forecasts indicating heavy snow and freezing rain.

Kickoff at 4:30 pm could see temperatures feel as low as -2°C. In addition, public transport is expected to face disruptions, and some areas of the UK may experience up to 40cm of snow. Fans are advised to come prepared with essentials such as warm clothing, food, blankets, and ice scrapers.

Rescheduling Challenges

Liverpool’s tight calendar, with games scheduled twice a week until mid-February, presents limited options for rearranging the fixture.

If Manchester United progress to the Europa League play-offs, finding an alternate date in February becomes even more complicated. This could result in the match being delayed until April.

Safety Takes Priority

Despite Liverpool’s eagerness to capitalize on their strong form and Manchester United’s current struggles in 14th place, safety remains paramount. If travel conditions for players, staff, and fans are deemed unsafe, authorities may have no choice but to postpone the game.

Fans and officials alike will be hoping for an improvement in weather conditions so that the clash can proceed as planned, with Anfield buzzing to the cheers of over 61,000 supporters.
