Everton and Liverpool’s Merseyside derby clash tomorrow is hanging in the balance, as Storm Darragh threatens postponement.
Earlier on today there was a report from the BBC that suggested winds of 70mph potentially at kick-off time, but these things can change quickly.
Everton will be full of confidence heading into this one if it does go ahead after a 4-0 smashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers at Goodison Park only days ago.
Of course, there will be fans desperate to see the game go on, but with concerns over the safety of supporters travelling to the game, it doesn’t look good at this moment in time.
Interestingly, both sets of clubs have released updates that suggest a decision has been made on the Merseyside derby, but we still await an official decision.
