Snowfall Won't Stop Liverpool vs Manchester United Premier League Clash

web editor

Despite heavy snowfall in England's north-west causing travel disruption, Liverpool's crucial Premier League showdown with bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield will still take place on Sunday. The match, scheduled to kick off at 16:30 GMT, is expected to proceed as planned after two safety meetings between the clubs and local authorities. Arne Slot's Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points with a win over struggling United, who have lost their last four games in all competitions.

"Today's fixture against Manchester United will go ahead as planned," Liverpool said in a statement.

"Two safety meetings were held earlier to assess the weather and travel conditions.

"We thank everyone involved in helping us to get this game on today. If you're travelling to Anfield then 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.
