The match was cancelled in the wake of Storm Darragh

A new date has been set for the Merseyside derby after it was postponed following unfavourable weather from Storm Darragh.

The last ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park had to be called off when the rumoured inclement weather hit land and proved too hostile to play in.

The cancellation caused plenty of disruption with one young fan coming all the way from Australia to see the game.

Meanwhile, others fixtures taking place along the west coast were also postponed.

Now a new date has been officially set for the fixture and the last Goodison Merseyside derby will take place on Tuesday 11 February 2025.

Everton will be hoping for a memorable moment fitting of the legendary stadium, while Liverpool will likely be looking to continue their title charge.

Until then both teams will have games in hand.
