LIVERPOOL
BREAKING: The Merseyside derby at Goodison Park is set to be played on February UEFA must give the Premier League approval to stage a match on a Champions League game night, but it is reported that that should not be a problem
A new date has been set for the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, but Everton and Liverpool are waiting on approval from UEFA.
Original game postponed due to storm
Need to fit fixture into a midweek slot
The Toffees were due to play host to their local rivals from across Stanley Park on December 7, but saw that contest postponed as Storm Darragh brought gale-force winds to the North West of England. Discussions have been taking place regarding the rearranged fixture.
Premier League rules dictate that any cancelled contest should be worked back into the top-flight diary at the next available midweek slot. Part of the problem there is that Liverpool are facing a stacked schedule. With Carabao Cup and Champions League games to contend with, the Reds may not be free again until mid-February.
DID YOU KNOW?
For now, according to the Mirror, that means pencilling in a derby date with Everton for Tuesday February 11 – as talks continue with the Premier League, police forces and television broadcasters. Said date will require a green light from UEFA as it falls on a Champions League matchday – when the knockout phase play-offs take place, which Liverpool appear set to avoid.
