LIVERPOOL will be travelling to Goodison Park TONIGHT with the fixture previously postponed because of severe weather disruptions.
The postponement of the 245th Merseyside Derby could well work into Everton’s favour.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool can go nine points clear at the top of the Premier League with a winGETTY
Had the game been played when it was first scheduled, the Toffee’s had only won one of their previous five, whereas Liverpool had won four and were in threatening form.
Since David Moyes’ return to Everton they have been in resurgent form – winning their last three league games and not conceding in their last two.
The Scot will take charge of a Merseyside derby for the first time since a 2-0 win back in 2011.
Everton fans will be hoping for a similar result as they would love to leave Goodison Park with one final win against their red rivals.
The Toffees will be in their brand new ground from next season.
However, Slot’s Reds have also won each of their last three league games.
They will be hoping for a convincing win to not only extend their lead but get revenge for their last trip – which all but ended their title hopes last season.
A Liverpool win will see them leap into a nine-point lead at the top of the table.
Why is Everton vs Liverpool on tonight?
The game was first meant to be played on Saturday, December 7.
However, the match was CALLED OFF because of poor weather conditions.
Storm Darragh battered parts of the UK that weekend and a decision was made due to safety fears for these travelling to the ground.
