Liverpool's Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions on Merseyside.
Gab Marcotti believes Liverpool are growing in confidence that Mohamed Salah will sign a new contract with the club. The final league Merseyside derby at Goodison -- ahead of Everton's move to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock -- was set to kick off at 12.30 p.m on Saturday.However, it has now been confirmed the match will not go ahead owing to the effects of Storm Darragh, with strong winds of up to 70mph forecast in the region.
Conversations between the two clubs and the local authorities took place on Saturday morning, with concerns for safety of supporters travelling to Goodison leading to the call to postpone being made. The fixture is now likely to be rearranged as a night game later in the season. An Everton statement on Saturday morning said:"Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting at Goodison Park, attended by officials from both clubs, as well as representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council this morning, it was decided that, due to the risk to safety in the local area due to strong wind gusts, and an amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6 a.m on Sunday, today's fixture should be postponed on safety grounds.
"We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank supporters for their understanding. Whilst we appreciate this will be deeply disappointing for supporters, the safety of fans, staff and players is of paramount importance. "Information relating to a rearranged date for the fixture will be announced in due course. All tickets purchased for the original fixture will remain valid for the rearranged fixture."
