The highly anticipated Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester United is in jeopardy due to the unpredictable weather conditions in Merseyside. The leaders of the league are aiming to widen their lead by eight points, especially after their rivals Arsenal dropped points in their match against Brighton on Saturday. This would just add insult to injury for their demoralized local rivals.
Unfortunately, the area has already been hit with flooding earlier this week and now, more bad weather is expected within the next 24 hours. The Met Office has even issued an amber weather warning for the entire region. With the recent thawing of snow and the possibility of more heavy rain, the safety of match-going fans is a major concern, especially with temperatures dropping below freezing near Anfield.
According to The Sun, a meeting will be held on Sunday with officials from both clubs, representatives from Merseyside Police, and Liverpool City Council to assess the situation and ensure the safety of everyone involved. The Met Office has also released a statement warning of potential hazardous travel conditions as the snow and freezing rain continue to move across the area.
The weather has already caused disruptions in the past for Liverpool, as their Boxing Day game against Leicester went ahead despite thick fog covering the ground. However, this is not the first time their fixtures have been affected. The Merseyside derby earlier this season was postponed due to the storm Darragh, which has yet to be rescheduled. This could prove to be a challenge for the team as they are already facing a tight schedule with their involvement in three cup competitions.
Despite these setbacks, Liverpool remains determined to continue their winning streak and maintain their lead in the league. They have already shown their resilience by playing through thick fog and adverse conditions. Let's hope the weather doesn't dampen the spirits of the players and their fans once again.
