• Amber alert in Liverpool and Manchester for Sunday
• Weather hits more of Sunday's programme in England

Liverpool say "every effort" is being made for their home game with Manchester United to take place on Sunday amid adverse weather conditions on Merseyside, with a decision expected just after midday.

Snow fell across Merseyside and the north west overnight and Liverpool City Council's Safety Advisory Group met on Sunday morning to determine whether the Premier League match could go ahead due to access issues. The group will reconvene at 12pm GMT in the hope that weather conditions will ease and the fixture – one of the biggest in English football – will kick off as scheduled at 4.30pm.
