Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting at Goodison Park, it was decided that, due to the risk to safety in the local area due to strong wind gusts, and an amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6 a.m on Sunday, today's fixture should be postponed on safety grounds.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank supporters for their understanding. Whilst we appreciate this will be deeply disappointing for supporters, the safety of fans, staff and players is of paramount importance.
The fixture is now likely to be rearranged as a night game later in the season, as conversations between the two clubs and local authorities indicate the postponement is necessary for safety considerations.
