Liverpool’s meeting with Manchester United on Sunday afternoon is under threat from the weather.
Severe snow hit Merseyside overnight placing the match in potential doubt, with the travel routes from Manchester also heavily affected.
Liverpool City Council’s Safety Advisory Group will hold a meeting on Sunday to determine whether or not the game can go ahead, with Liverpool facing the possibility of a second postponed match this season after Storm Darragh caused the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park to be called off in December.
At the time of writing and publication the match is still on, but stay with us for the latest updates throughout Sunday.

Snow update
The snow has eased off in this particular corner of south Liverpool, and things are looking a fair bit brighter out there.
It will just be a case of how safe the authorities think fans will be heading to and from the match, as the freezing temperatures mean the snow and ice on the ground might not go away for a while.
