As a result of the bad weather during Storm Darragh, the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park has been postponed.
In anticipation of disruptive conditions, Merseyside was under an amber weather warning for strong winds on Saturday morning.
Everton stated that following a discussion between the two clubs and representatives from Liverpool City Council and Merseyside Police, the game was cancelled for safety reasons.
The safety of supporters, employees, and players is of first priority, even though we acknowledge that this will be extremely disappointing for supporters, according to an Everton statement.
Prior to Everton moving into a new stadium in 2025, the game was scheduled to begin at 12:30 GMT and feature the final league derby between the two teams at Goodison.
With their respective games scheduled for Sunday against Tottenham and Fulham, Liverpool leads Chelsea and Arsenal by seven points at the top of the Premier League standings.
Everton under Sean Dyche are five points above the relegation spots in the premier tier, in 15th place.
Already, Storm Darragh has disrupted many athletic events this weekend.
Two Championship fixtures – Cardiff v Watford and Plymouth v Oxford – have been postponed, as has the League One game between Bristol Rovers and Bolton Wanderers.
Additionally, race meetings have been cancelled at Aintree and Chepstow.
In order to protect themselves during Storm Darragh, millions of people in portions of Wales and south-west England have been advised to stay indoors.
Winds of up to 90 mph have been predicted in some regions, and the Met Office has issued its highest-level red warning for sections of western and southern Wales.
