When could the Merseyside derby be re-arranged?
The new date for Everton vs Liverpool will depend on whether Arne Slot’s side finish in the top eight of the Champions League. They are currently top of the new 36 club table.

This means matches could be played in midweek before Liverpool return to European competition, with the last-16 matches starting on March 4/5 and March 11/12, 2025.
