Storm Darragh has kicked the Merseyside derby to the curb! Find out how severe weather played a game of its own this weekend in Liverpool.

In a twist that would make even the stormiest of football fans shake their heads, the highly anticipated Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park was postponed, thanks to none other than Storm Darragh. With winds howling and rain pouring almost as fiercely as a rival fan's taunts, the Premier League decided to put player safety first, calling off what would have been the final derby at this iconic stadium. The disappointment echoed from Anfield to Goodison, as fans were left wondering when they would next see their teams clash in the age-old rivalry.

While Everton fans may have been preparing to cheer on their Toffees, Liverpool supporters eyed the match hoping to see history unfold. Not only was it a battle on the pitch, but this matchup also stood as a significant chapter in football lore, with the 245th meeting ready to take place. However, with Storm Darragh messing up plans like a toddler at a birthday party, all that momentum fizzled out. A statement from the Premier League confirmed that safety was paramount and that the game would need to be rescheduled, leaving both sets of fans in limbo.

In a comical twist of fate, the postponement may actually work in favor of Liverpool, who had been set to miss several key players due to injuries. With match schedules jam-packed around the Christmas holiday, the delay could offer the Reds a much-needed advantage for regrouping and healing up before what promises to be a hectic festive schedule. And, while they won't be able to kick off against rival Everton for now, fans can circle the date on their calendars for when the storm clears.

As anticipation builds to see when the Merseyside derby will be rescheduled, let’s take a look at some interesting facts about stormy weather and sports: did you know that many sporting events have been postponed due to weather conditions throughout history? From the Super Bowl to the World Series, the unpredictability of Mother Nature has often left fans biting their nails. And while football may take a break in the storm, Liverpool continues to keep fans updated on their star, Mohamed Salah, who is reportedly nearing a new contract, ensuring they have plenty to cheer about when the clouds finally clear!
