While there is currently no suggestion of Saturday’s Merseyside derby being postponed, supporters should be wary of travel disruption when making their way to Anfield for the lunchtime kick-off.

Last season’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park had to be postponed due to weather conditions as Storm Darragh battered the United Kingdom.

Initially scheduled for December 7, 2024, the clash was rearranged for February 12, 2025, where a James Tarkowski stoppage-time strike earned Everton a 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
