Sunday’s Liverpool v Manchester United Premier League match went ahead despite the north-west region’s adverse weather conditions.
Merseyside and the north-west had a dump of snow overnight and Liverpool city council’s safety advisory group met on Sunday morning to determine whether the game could be played. Access issues led the list of concerns. The group reconvened at 12pm GMT in the hope weather conditions would ease and the fixture kicked off as scheduled at 4.30pm, with Manchester United holding Liverpool to a 2-2 draw.
