The final Merseyside derby at Everton’s Goodison Park, which hosted the first edition of the match 130 years ago, has been postponed until December 7.
Since then, a lot has happened for both clubs, including the Toffees replacing manager Sean Dyche with David Moyes, who is now in his second spell at the club.
The 245th meeting between the sides now has a new date in what will be Moyes’ first derby since his return.
Here are the details of the rearranged Premier League match, including date, time, TV channel and live broadcast details.

When is Everton vs Liverpool? Date, kick-off time
The match takes place on Wednesday February 12 from 7:30 p.m. GMT in both clubs’ first match after the FA Cup Fourth Round weekend.
That could suit Everton more, as Moyes’ side host Bournemouth in their second FA Cup match of the season, while Liverpool will travel around 600 miles and return to face Championship club Plymouth Argyle.

Why was Everton vs Liverpool canceled?
With Storm Darragh hitting the UK, an amber weather warning issued until 6am GMT on December 8 and winds of up to 70 mph, authorities decided the safety risk was too great to the expected attendance of nearly 40,000 fans.
“I think a lot of Evertonians are hoping this derby will be one last night under the lights at Goodison Park,” said Giulia Bould of BBC Radio Merseyside. Focus on football at the time. This wish has now been granted.

Everton vs Liverpool new date
The good news for Liverpool is that Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is likely to be available, having been suspended for the initial date.
Arne Slot’s men were six points clear at the top of the table when the changed date was announced on January 13, and had a game in hand on the teams behind them due to the postponement.
Everton were one point clear of the relegation zone when the match was confirmed, with Moyes holding his first press conference since returning to the club that same afternoon.
