Will Liverpool vs Man Utd be postponed due to snow?

Must read

The clash between Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United may be in doubt after heavy snow hit the United Kingdom overnight.

An amber weather warning is in place across much of the north of England for snow and ice, with temperatures falling below freezing.

Runways at both Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport were closed on Sunday morning due to the snowfall.

Liverpool are due to host their rivals at Anfield at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday afternoon as they look to extend their lead at the top of the table.

While the pitch is likely to be able to be made playable, the safety of travelling fans will also be considered with regards to a possible postponement.

Liverpool have already had one fixture scuppered by the weather this season, with December’s Merseyside derby against Everton still to be played having fallen victim to Storm Darragh.

No official statement has yet been issued regarding the fixture, though National Highways have put in place a severe weather warning.

Fulham also host Ipswich in the Premier League at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, though the snow has not been as heavy in London and the south as temperatures rise.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool currently top the table by five points from Arsenal, who dropped points at Brighton yesterday, while Manchester United are languishing in 14th place.
