Following heavy snow which begun late last evening, and is still falling currently, Merseyside Police have decided the game should not go ahead in the interests of safety of the spectators.
Liverpool will announce a new date for the fixture in due course. Ticket holders will have the option of a refund or keeping their valid ticket for that game.
A statement from the club read:
“Club officials met with the Police this morning to assess the prevailing weather conditions.
“The safety of all fans attending the game is paramount and although the Anfield pitch is playable, the conditions around the stadium and further afield for people travelling to the match are such that the decision was taken, following Police advice on safety grounds, to postpone the game.
“All existing tickets will remain valid for the re-arranged fixture. We will also offer refunds and publish a deadline date for refunds once the re-arranged game date is announced, to enable us to re-sell any returned seats to other supporters.
“Any guests who have purchased hospitality for the game are advised to retain their tickets as they will be valid for the new date. We will advise all supporters of the new date as soon as possible.”
