When is Everton vs Liverpool? Date, time of 2024 Premier League Merseyside derby moved due to FA Cup quarterfinals image

Once again, Merseyside's two famous old clubs are experiencing contrasting fortunes in the Premier League.

Liverpool are in the thick of a three-horse title race with Arsenal and Manchester City, sitting second on goal difference behind the Gunners with 10 games remaining after a gripping 1-1 draw with City at Anfield.

Everton, by contrast, are battling against relegation amid turmoil off the field and a failure to win a Premier League game since mid-December. With just one win over their fierce local rivals in nearly 14 years, this is not a match-up most fans will have been looking forward to, but a surprise result could help to galvanise their survival bid.

The derby at Goodison Park was due to take place on March 17, but the game has been postponed due to the FA Cup quarterfinals taking place over the same weekend.

The Sporting News has the latest on when the match will now be played.

Why was Everton vs Liverpool postponed?

The game was moved because of the FA Cup quarterfinals, which are taking place over the same weekend (March 16-17).

Everton are no longer in the competition, having lost 2-1 at home to Luton Town in round four, but Liverpool face a mouth-watering round-six clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford on March 17.
