The highly anticipated Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool, originally scheduled for December 7, has been postponed due to severe weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh. This marks the first match in the Premier League this season to be delayed due to weather.
Severe rain and winds forced officials to make the decision after assessing the safety of players and fans. Both teams were prepared for the clash, but with the storm wreaking havoc across parts of the UK, the conditions were deemed unsafe for play. The match was to take place at Everton’s Goodison Park, but now, both teams will look forward to rescheduling the game.
This postponement has further disrupted the Premier League schedule, which is already packed in the lead-up to the holiday season. Fans were disappointed to miss this iconic match between two fierce local rivals, with Liverpool currently sitting in a strong position in the league, while Everton struggles near the bottom.
The league’s official channels have confirmed that the match will be rescheduled to a later date, with teams, fans, and broadcasters awaiting an announcement. Meanwhile, both teams are focused on their next fixtures as the season nears the crucial holiday period
