Liverpool’s Boxing Day clash against Leicester is expected to go ahead as planned despite Merseyside being blanketed by foggy weather.

The Merseyside region was shrouded in fog throughout Boxing Day, resulting in Tranmere’s League Two clash with Accrington Stanley being postponed.

The game at Prenton Park (6.5 miles from Anfield) was due to start at 3pm but was canceled shortly after 2pm as the pitch was barely visible from the stands.

There are therefore fears that the Reds could have a game canceled due to adverse weather conditions for the second time this season.

Ahead of the game, Liverpool urged fans to leave early because of the fog and to be careful in the adverse conditions.
