Liverpool’s Premier League showdown with Manchester United narrowly avoided postponement after heavy overnight snowfall in Merseyside created significant challenges.

The club issued a statement following multiple safety meetings held at Anfield to evaluate travel and weather conditions. The Safety Advisory Group initially met at 9:00 a.m., with a follow-up decision deferred until 11:45 a.m. after further assessments.

At 9:31 a.m., Liverpool reassured fans the match was still set to proceed, stating, “Every effort is being made to get the game on.” A final midday review confirmed the fixture could go ahead as planned.

Both clubs later announced the match would proceed, with Liverpool thanking those involved in ensuring its continuation and urging fans to travel safely. Manchester United echoed the sentiment, acknowledging the logistical challenges caused by the severe weather.

Despite the snowfall, reports confirmed that Liverpool and Manchester airports had reopened, and major roads were cleared for safe travel, allowing the 4:30 p.m. kickoff to remain on schedule.
