The Premier League match between Liverpool and rival Manchester United at Anfield will go ahead on Sunday despite heavy snow in the northwest of England that has caused travel disruptions. Arne Slot's Liverpool can extend an eight-point lead at the top of the table with a win over struggling United, who have lost their last four games in all competitions. After two security meetings between the clubs and local authorities, the match, which starts at 4.30pm GMT, has been given the green light.
“Today's match against Manchester United will go ahead as planned,” Liverpool said in a statement.
“Two safety meetings were previously held to assess weather and travel conditions.
“We would like to thank everyone who helped us get this match going today. If you are traveling to Anfield please take extra care. We look forward to seeing you there.”
Heavy snowfall overnight had led to the closure of both Liverpool and Manchester airports.
There is also disruption for fans on the rail network, with trains to and from Liverpool's main Lime Street station canceled until 12pm.
