The two rivals already experienced disruption in the 2024-25 season when their December 7 meeting at Goodison Park was postponed. Storm Darragh forced the game to be rescheduled, with the rearranged tie eventually played on February 12, 2025.
That derby turned out to be Everton’s final one at Goodison Park before their move to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. This weekend’s encounter brings them back across Stanley Park for a highly anticipated match at Anfield on September 20.
The Met Office has issued several yellow weather warnings ahead of the game, affecting Liverpool and surrounding areas. Alerts highlight the possibility of localized flooding and power cuts, with disruption expected to impact travel across Merseyside.
Supporter safety remains a key consideration, with the warnings in effect from 9am Saturday until 6am Sunday. Authorities will continue to monitor conditions before making any final decision on the match.
Forecasts suggest a very low likelihood of severe disruption, with only a medium-level impact flagged. Barring any late developments, the Merseyside derby is expected to take place, with reigning Premier League champions Liverpool aiming to maintain their perfect start against an Everton side that has collected seven points from four matches.
