Liverpool's massive clash with Manchester United has been given the green light despite heavy snow on Merseyside. There were worries that the game might be postponed due to the weather overnight.

An amber warning was put in place by the Met Office as a result, effective from 6pm on Saturday evening and through to midday on Sunday.

Liverpool confirmed just after 12pm that the game would proceed.
