The Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United on Sunday afternoon faces potential postponement due to adverse weather conditions on Merseyside. Scheduled for 4:30 PM GMT at Anfield, the match is under threat as snow and freezing rain blanket the region, raising safety concerns.

Airports and Roads Closed Amid Amber Weather Warning

Both Liverpool and Manchester airports have closed their runways due to heavy snowfall, while the surrounding roads of Anfield remain treacherous. The UK Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for snow, ice, and freezing rain across Merseyside, in effect until the weekend’s end.

Decision Pending: Safety Advisory Group to Meet

The Ground Safety Advisory Group of Liverpool City Council met earlier at 9:00 AM but delayed a final decision until 12:00 PM GMT to assess updated conditions.

Liverpool FC released a statement addressing the situation:
“At this stage, the match is planned to go ahead as normal, and every effort is being made to get the game on. A further safety meeting will take place again at midday to assess the latest conditions.”
