A new date has been ‘pencilled in’ for the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. The original fixture was postponed last Saturday lunchtime due to Storm Darragh. Both clubs are thought to be in talks with the police, Premier League and broadcasters regarding the fixture, according to the Mirror.

Liverpool then have midweek games scheduled throughout January, while Everton’s FA Cup tie against Peterborough also takes up a midweek slot early in the month. Liverpool would also have a game in the first week of February if they progress to the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in the Premier League was postponed this morning due to severe weather conditions from Storm Darragh posing safety concerns for supporters.

It falls just days after the FA Cup fourth round (8-9 February) and before a Premier League encounter at Anfield against Wolves on 16 February. Arne Slot’s side, sitting five points clear at the top of the Premier League table, also has European commitments looming.
