The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for Merseyside amid the threat of "snow and freezing rain [that] will likely lead to disruption to transport and some other services."

As much as 40 centimetres of snow has been predicted in some areas across the UK, and the huge Premier League clash has subsequently been deemed at risk.

Snow and then rain is expected to hamper supporters attending the game at Anfield, and all travellers have been recommended to bring warm clothing, food, water, blankets, and ice scrapers for the journey.

Those travelling by public transport could see routes disrupted or closed amid temperatures around 3C, with the 'feels like' temperature below zero.

Amid unconfirmed rumours of a meeting scheduled on Sunday morning to decide the fate of the game, which is a 4.30pm kick-off, Liverpool fans will be all too well aware of the possible postponement.

Just last month the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park was postponed due to Storm Darragh, which was also subject to an amber severe weather warning.

A decision to postpone the match was made three hours before the 12.30pm kick-off.
