Liverpool vs. Manchester United: The weekend’s biggest Premier League encounter will occur on Sunday when Manchester United visits Liverpool.

Adverse weather in northern England has overshadowed the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield this Sunday. It’s a clash of two teams headed in opposite directions, with Liverpool continuing to soar at the top of the table and Manchester United limping into the New Year in 14th place.

Liverpool, winners of their last three league games, leads the standings despite having played two fewer games than the teams immediately below them, and a win at Anfield on Sunday would add to that cushion, as the Reds have been virtually unstoppable this season.

Authorities are asking United supporters to exercise caution and to stay up to date on travel conditions in Liverpool. Heavy weather and slick roads may hinder plans, with spectator safety a major issue. The National Highways Agency has already declared that the A628 Snake Pass between Sheffield and Manchester will likely close at 10 p.m. on Saturday. Although this closure is not likely to have a direct impact on supporters going from Manchester to Liverpool, other routes may offer issues.

Will Liverpool vs Man Utd be postponed? Next Re-schedule

If the fixture is cancelled, finding a new date to reschedule the game involves logistical challenges. Liverpool’s already packed schedule, combined with the earlier postponement of the Merseyside Derby versus Everton due to Storm Darragh, leaves few open weekends. The derby is tentatively scheduled for either game 24 or 25 in early February, but Liverpool’s likely progression in the Carabao Cup and other events may limit the alternatives even further.

If Liverpool make it to the Carabao Cup final, their match against Aston Villa in March will have to be rescheduled. This would mean fitting three games into an already overcrowded schedule, with midweek dates in-game weeks 34 or 37 appearing as more likely options.
