The Premier League has officially confirmed the new date for the postponed Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool. The fierce rivalry will be reignited on February 12 at Goodison Park, kicking off at 9:00 PM local time. This match, originally postponed due to adverse weather conditions, is eagerly awaited by fans of both clubs.

Both teams approach the derby with high stakes. Liverpool, sitting near the top of the Premier League table, aims to extend their lead over competitors, while Everton fights to climb out of the relegation zone under new manager David Moyes. The match will mark Moyes’s first Merseyside Derby since taking over from Sean Dyche.

Historically, the Merseyside Derby has been one of the most intense fixtures in English football. The last encounter at Goodison Park saw Everton secure a memorable 2-0 victory over Liverpool during the 34th week of the previous season. That match was highlighted by Everton’s resilience under Dyche, but the dynamic has since shifted with managerial changes on both sides.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be keen to avenge that loss and capitalize on his team’s strong form this season. Everton, however, will rely on their passionate home crowd and a tactical revival under Moyes to challenge their city rivals.

The February 12 clash is expected to be a thrilling contest, as both teams vie for crucial points in their respective campaigns. Fans are already marking their calendars for what promises to be another chapter in this storied rivalry.
