The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool, scheduled for December 7, 2024, at Goodison Park, has been postponed due to severe weather conditions caused by Storm Darragh. The decision was made following a Safety Advisory Group meeting that included officials from both clubs, Merseyside Police, and Liverpool City Council. The amber severe wind warning remains in effect until 6 am on Sunday, December 8, 2024.
This match was particularly significant as it was set to be the final league game between the two teams at Goodison Park before Everton’s move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
The postponement has led to widespread disappointment among fans, with many expressing their frustration on social media platforms. However, the safety of supporters, staff, and players remains the top priority. Everton has announced that all tickets purchased for the original fixture will remain valid for the rescheduled match, with further details to be announced in due course.
Both teams are now focusing on their upcoming fixtures. Everton is set to face Arsenal next Saturday, while Liverpool will play Girona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
