The highly anticipated Premier League clash between Liverpool and Man United faces potential postponement due to severe weather conditions in the North West, as an amber weather warning remains in effect, according to reports.
Liverpool are set to host Man United in a crucial encounter for both teams.
Arne Slot’s side look to extend their lead over Arsenal to eight points after the Gunners’ draw at Brighton on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, under Ruben Amorim, are desperate to end their four-match losing streak across all competitions and uplift the atmosphere at Old Trafford.
However, heavy overnight snow has significantly disrupted the region, and further snowfall is expected, threatening the fixture.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for the area, cautioning about hazardous conditions.
In their statement, the Met Office explained: “Snow will become persistent and locally heavy as it pushes south to north across the warning area.
“As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is also likely, bringing some hazardous travel conditions, before milder air follows across all areas by Sunday morning.
“While there’s some uncertainty in details, 3-7cm of snow is likely for most of the warning area, with locally 15-30cm for the higher ground of Wales and the southern Pennines.
“Freezing rain could lead to ice accretion in places, especially parts of Wales – before the milder air leads to a rapid thaw of snow and ice in the south of the warning area through Sunday.”
The adverse weather conditions raise concerns over fan safety, travel disruptions, and pitch suitability, leaving both clubs and officials closely monitoring the situation ahead of the scheduled kickoff.
