Liverpool vs Everton postponement update as Met Office issues weather warning

Liverpool's contest with Everton at Anfield later today is at risk of being postponed.

The weather is changing at quite an extreme pace and a recent warning suggests that fans will need to keep their wits about them prior to kick off, as it's possible that a last-minute call could be made.

It was only last season when Liverpool last had a postponed fixture and it was the derby match at Goodison Park which fell foul to the weather, following the arrival of Storm Darragh which swept the UK.

The contest was moved closer to the end of the season, and it made for an extraordinary atmosphere since Everton were nearing the final few matches at their historic ground.

Now we're in a potential situation which could spell disaster again.

Weather concerns in Liverpool

According to the Met Office, there is a 'Yellow' weather warning currently in place for the North West of England, with Anfield set to see a heavy rain downpour throughout the morning and the afternoon of Saturday, which encompasses the 12.30pm kickoff time set by the Premier League.

The warning itself is for rain and the severity of the weather brings the small likelihood that there could be transport disruption, power cuts, and risk of flooding if the rainfall is heavy.

The impact of such a warning is expected to last between 9:00am on Saturday 20 and 06:00am on Sunday 21, which puts the Merseyside Derby right in the thick of it.

Liverpool and Everton will be well aware of the ongoing updates and a judgement call will be made sooner rather than later, whether that is putting out a statement or simply allowing everything to continue.

A substantial amount of disruption would need to be caused to postpone the fixture and it is unlikely that we will see a similar incident to what happened last season at Goodison Park, everything should be fine.

But take note of the updates provided by the Met Office as things could change all of a sudden.
