Sky Sports News’ Ben Ransom explains why the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park was postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
When could the Merseyside derby be rescheduled?
The new date for Everton v Liverpool is likely to depend on whether Arne Slott’s side finish in the top eight of the Champions League, currently top of the new 36-club table.
This would guarantee them a place in the round of 16, meaning they would skip the knockout stages on February 11/12 and February 18/19, 2025.
It would mean the game could be played in midweek slots ahead of Liverpool’s return to European competition, with the round of 16 kicking off on March 4/5 and March 11/12, 2025.
If the Reds do not finish in the top eight, it further tightens the deadline, as well as their promotion to the latter stages of the Champions League.
Another possible option could be the week of April 21, which will be between the Champions League quarter-final second leg and the semi-final first leg.
