Merseyside derby venue decision to be taken on Wednesday

A decision on whether the Merseyside derby on June 21 can be safely played at Goodison Park will not be taken until Wednesday.The PA news agency understands the relevant documents were not received until last Friday and the members of Liverpool City Council’s safety advisory group, who had originally been due to meet on Monday, need more time to read them.The derby was one of only two games in the initial rounds of Premier League fixtures published on Friday to have ‘venue TBC’ at the side of it, with all other games in the restart having been given the go-ahead to be played at the usual home venue.The safety advisory group can only make a decision on Goodison’s suitability to host the fixture. If it decides it is not, the clubs and the Premier League must then look at a suitable neutral venue.
