- Original fixture postponed in December due to extreme weather.
- New date confirmed as Wednesday, 12 February.
- Likely to be the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
Liverpool have officially announced that the Merseyside derby against Everton, originally postponed in December due to severe weather warnings, has been rescheduled for Wednesday, 12 February.
The match, initially called off after Merseyside Police advised against unnecessary travel during extreme weather conditions, will see Liverpool make the short trip to Goodison Park next month.
Final Derby at Goodison Park
This derby is set to be historic, marking what will likely be the final clash between the two clubs at Everton’s iconic Goodison Park. Everton are expected to relocate to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock at the end of the season.
The only scenario where another Merseyside derby could be held at Goodison would involve both teams advancing to the FA Cup later rounds and drawing each other.
Fixture Contingencies
The newly scheduled date could still change depending on Liverpool’s Champions League commitments. The February 12 fixture coincides with the competition’s knockout play-off round, but Liverpool’s commanding position in the group stage makes automatic qualification for the last 16 highly likely.
Contrasting Fortunes
Liverpool currently lead the Premier League, sitting comfortably ahead of rivals Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, and Chelsea, despite having played one game fewer. Jürgen Klopp’s side is also poised for Champions League progression, further solidifying their dominant season.
In contrast, Everton face a battle for survival. The return of David Moyes as manager aims to steer the Toffees clear of relegation, with the team sitting just one point above the drop zone at the time of this announcement.
What to Expect
With Liverpool chasing the title and Everton fighting to avoid the drop, the February clash promises to be intense. Fans on both sides will look forward to what could be a historic conclusion to Goodison Park’s role in this storied rivalry.
