The match between Liverpool and Manchester United is going well despite unpredictable weather. Snowfall threatened the meeting, which will ultimately take place.
Supporters of the Reds and Red Devils can be reassured, the match between their two teams will take place at Anfield. Scheduled for this Sunday, January 5 at 5:30 p.m., the meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United was threatened because of the Darragh storm which arrived in the north of England. While the derby between Liverpool and Everton had already been postponed a month ago, United’s reception on the banks of the Mersey almost suffered the same fate. “A safety meeting took place this (Sunday) morning to assess the weather and travel conditions for today’s match against Manchester United at Anfield,” explained the first statement released by Liverpool.
Match maintained, expected show
Following this first meeting, the authorities had confidence that the meeting would take place. A second meeting took place a few hours later to analyze the conditions and confirm or not the match. Thanks to the efforts of the authorities and employees of the Liverpool club, the match will take place as confirmed by the Reds. After “two security meetings”, the meeting between the two teams will take place normally. You will have to dress well to enter the Reds grounds and perhaps witness another victory for the Premier League leader. Largely favorite for this meeting, Liverpool welcomes a sick opponent. Since the success in the Manchester derby, United have lost four matches and are in 14th place in the championship. Proof of the club’s crisis situation, Man.U is closer to the relegation zone (7 points) than to European places (12 points). In the event of a defeat, Ruben Amorim’s players could see Ipswich, Wolverhampton or Everton come closer. Last year, United drew (0-0) at Anfield on matchday 17.
