A decision on whether Goodison Park will host the Merseyside derby is set to finally be made on Wednesday.
Liverpool city council's Safety Advisory Group, who will make the key recommendation, were due to meet on Monday.
However, members of the group were not given the relevant documentation until last Friday and were given more time to digest their contents.
A new date for the meeting was set for this Friday, but – amid a desire to come to a conclusion – that meeting has now been brought forward and will start at 8.
