Mark Goldbridge predicts a “very big chance” that Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Manchester United could be postponed.
The Reds are set to host their fierce rivals at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, with Arne Slot’s side aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table at the expense of Ruben Amorim’s struggling team. However, a weather warning in Merseyside has reportedly put the fixture in doubt, and Goldbridge believes safety concerns may prevent the game from going ahead.
Goldbridge Expects Postponement Due to Safety Concerns
Posting on his personal X account, content creator Goldbridge explained that the issue is unrelated to the condition of the pitch but rather concerns over fan safety traveling to and from the stadium.
“Very BIG chance Liverpool v United gets called off apparently. Nothing to do with [the] pitch and all [to] do with safety getting to and from the ground,” he wrote.
Fixture Pile-Up Looms for Liverpool
Liverpool already have a game in hand after a storm forced the cancellation of their Merseyside derby against Everton last month. With the Reds competing in the Champions League and Carabao Cup, fitting in another rescheduled match could lead to a congested fixture list later in the season.
Advantage Manchester United?
A postponement might be welcomed by Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim. His side is on a poor run, losing their last three Premier League games, and Amorim has lamented the lack of training time with his squad since replacing Erik ten Hag.
The game is scheduled to kick off on Sunday at 16:30 GMT, but a decision on its status is expected well in advance of that time.
