Mon Jan 06 00:54:15 UTC 2025: ## Liverpool-Manchester United Match On Despite UK Snowstorm

**Liverpool, England (AP)** — The highly anticipated Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United will proceed as scheduled on Sunday, January 5th, 2025, following safety assessments in the wake of a significant winter storm impacting the United Kingdom. Heavy snow and ice prompted weather warnings across the country, leading to concerns about travel and match conditions at Anfield.

Following two separate meetings to evaluate the situation, officials confirmed the game would go ahead. Liverpool Football Club issued a statement on X, thanking those involved in ensuring the match could proceed and urging fans to exercise caution while traveling to the stadium.
