A weather warning remains in place across the UK as Liverpool and Everton prepare to return to Premier League action this weekend. The Reds and the Blues are both set to continue their top-flight charges this weekend - but wintery conditions across the country have seen questions asked about the status of some fixtures.

Everton will take on AFC Bournemouth in a 3pm kick-off at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blues were beaten by Nottingham Forest in their previous fixture and will be determined to return to winning ways.

Liverpool are in action on Sunday afternoon, at Anfield, with a 4.30pm kick-off scheduled for their Premier League clash against their arch rivals Manchester United. The Reds are top of the league standings - and will be looking to extend their advantage with a win on Merseyside.

However, the Met Office has issued an amber warning for snow and ice, which is set to strike Liverpool and the Merseyside area this weekend. The warning lasts from 6pm on Saturday night and will run until 12pm on Sunday afternoon, more than four hours before kick-off against United.

For Everton's impending clash with Bournemouth, there's currently no warning in place on the south coast, but the Met Office has still issued advice for the general public. The Met Office has warned that the snow and ice will "likely lead to disruption to transport and some other services."

"Snow will become persistent and locally heavy as it pushes south to north across the warning area," the warning from the Met Office added. "As well as snow, a period of freezing rain is also likely bringing some hazardous travel conditions, before milder air follows across all areas by Sunday morning.

"While there's some uncertainty in details, 3-7 cm of snow is likely for most of the warning area, with locally 15-30 cm for the higher ground of Wales and the southern Pennines. Freezing rain could lead to ice accretion in places, especially parts of Wales - before the milder air leads to a rapid thaw of snow and ice in the south of the warning area through Sunday."
