Official. Was Liverpool vs Brighton postponed?
The weather tried to interfere, but football at Anfield is still on.
Details: Despite the difficult weather conditions in Merseyside, Liverpool's Premier League match against Brighton has not been postponed and is set to go ahead as planned. The fixture is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at Anfield, with kick-off at 14:00 GMT.
Serious concerns over the fixture had emerged because of Storm Boelo. A yellow weather warning was issued for Merseyside, with strong winds and heavy rain creating potential problems across the region. Several events in and around Liverpool were cancelled, raising fears that the Premier League clash could suffer the same fate.
The main concern was the safety of supporters travelling to and from Anfield, with road and rail services also at risk of disruption. The situation was monitored ahead of the match, but the latest decision means Liverpool and Brighton can prepare for the game on the original Sunday schedule.
It is worth noting that Brighton head into the match third in the Premier League with 16 points, while Liverpool are fifth with 12. The Seagulls have won four consecutive league matches, scoring 15 goals without conceding during that run.
Reminder: Oh no! Four Premier League matches could be postponed
