Why Was Everton-Liverpool Postponed?
The final league derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park has been called off due to adverse weather conditions.
The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool has been postponed "due to the risk to safety in the local area" during Storm Darragh.
The Toffees were set to welcome the Premier League leaders to Goodison Park on Saturday for the final time in the English top flight.
The Merseyside clash postponed due to safety concerns amidst the storm.
However, after a meeting between both clubs and representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council, Everton confirmed the scheduled showdown will now be played at a later date due to safety concerns.
"Whilst we appreciate this will be deeply disappointing for supporters, the safety of fans, staff and players is of paramount importance," a club statement read.
Two Championship fixtures - Cardiff City v Watford, and Plymouth Argyle v Oxford United - have also been postponed this weekend, along with Bristol Rovers' League One clash with Bolton Wanderers.
