The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park is reportedly scheduled for February 11.
The match was originally set for a Saturday afternoon but was postponed at the last minute due to Storm Darragh.
Everton and Liverpool have since been in discussions with the Premier League, police, and broadcasters to rearrange the game.
According to The Mirror, February has been suggested for the fixture, though UEFA approval is required as they discourage domestic matches clashing with European competitions.
Premier League rules dictate that postponed matches be played in the next available midweek slot.
However, Liverpool’s progress in the Carabao Cup limits options.
If Arne Slot’s team advances to the semi-finals after facing Southampton in the quarter-finals, midweek availability may be pushed to February.
Additionally, Liverpool’s dominant performance in the Champions League group stage nearly ensures they avoid a play-off in the new year, further narrowing scheduling options.
TNT Sports, holding UK broadcasting rights for both the derby and Champions League play-offs, has reportedly approved the February date.
The fixture’s confirmation hinges on the outcome of next week’s Carabao Cup quarter-finals and Liverpool’s mathematical qualification for the Champions League last 16.
The Premier League leaders need just one point from their final two group matches against Lille and PSV next month to secure their place in the knockout stages.
A League Cup defeat to Russell Martin’s Southampton could potentially allow the derby to be played a month earlier.
Once finalized, the rescheduled match will mark a historic moment as the last Merseyside derby at Everton’s iconic Goodison Park.
