Sat Dec 07 14:29:19 UTC 2024: ## Liverpool-Everton Derby Postponed Due to Storm
**London, UK** – The highly anticipated Merseyside derby between Premier League leaders Liverpool and Everton has been postponed due to severe weather conditions caused by Storm Daragh. High winds and heavy rain sweeping across western parts of the UK forced the cancellation of the match, scheduled for Saturday at Everton’s Goodison Park.
A joint statement from both clubs, citing safety concerns following discussions with local police and Liverpool City Council, confirmed the postponement. Everton emphasized the priority of fan, staff, and player safety.
This match marks the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Everton’s home since 1892, before the club moves to a new 53,000-capacity stadium next season. Liverpool currently sits seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table after 14 games of the 38-game season.
The storm also impacted other football fixtures. Friday’s Championship matches in Plymouth and Cardiff were postponed due to a rare red weather warning issued by the UK’s Met Office.
