MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Liverpool could win the Premier League at the home of city rival Everton after local authorities approved Goodison Park being used for the game rather than a neutral venue.
The announcement came as plans intensified for the resumption of the league next Wednesday after a 100-day shutdown because of the pandemic. All games will be closed to fans for the remainder of the season, but police have been concerned that supporters will still congregate outside stadiums during big games.
That meant the Merseyside derby on June 21 had been expected to be staged outside Liverpool.
