Everton vs Peterborough: FA Cup tie WILL be played tonight - after snow and ice had threatened to postpone the game

The FA Cup third-round tie between Everton and Peterborough will be played tonight after concerns were raised about the game being postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

Snow and ice in the Merseyside area led to Everton scheduling a safety meeting at 1pm to determine whether the match could go ahead.

That has now concluded, and the match has been given the green light.

The Toffees confirmed the good news in a statement that read: 'Everton’s third-round FA Cup tie with Peterborough United will go ahead as planned this evening (kick-off 7:45pm).
