New date for Merseyside derby confirmed


The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool has been rearranged for Wednesday, February 12 after the original fixture at Goodison Park was postponed due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh.

The game, originally scheduled for December 7, will be the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park before Everton move to their new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium next season.

The new date will rely on Arne Slot’s side finishing in the top eight of the Champions League – Liverpool are currently top of the new 36-club table.

This would guarantee them a place in the round of 16, meaning they bypass the knockout rounds set to be played on February 11/12 and February 18/19.
