Liverpool vs Man United Decision Made: The Premier League encounter between Liverpool and Manchester United will take place this afternoon as planned after two safety meetings were made over the weather.
Following a second safety group meeting at noon, it has been agreed the game is safe to go ahead at Anfield as Arne Slot’s side welcome Ruben Amorim’s men.
Massive snowfall in north England had thrown the fixture in doubt but the match safety group has decided everyone will be safe inside Anfield and that the thrilling contest can take place.
Man United have lost 4 of their last 5 across all competitions and head into Sunday’s match as underdogs with Liverpool widely tipped to dominate their arch-rivals.
Liverpool said in a statement:
“Today’s fixture against Manchester United will go ahead as planned. 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 are travelling to Anfield then please take extra care. We look forward to seeing you there.”
Also, a United statement added: “Following a second safety meeting, it has been decided that today’s match between Manchester United and Liverpool will go ahead.
“There have been snowfall and weather warnings across the North West on Sunday but it has been deemed safe for fans to attend the 16:30 GMT kick-off. Take care if you are travelling to Merseyside today, Reds.”
