The final Merseyside derby at Everton's Goodison Park, which hosted the first edition of the match 130 years ago, has been postponed to December 7.
A lot has happened for both clubs since then, including the Toffees replacing manager Sean Dyche with David Moyes, who is now in his second spell at the club.
A new date has now been set for the 245th meeting between the two teams in what will be Moyes' first derby since his return.
Below are the rearranged Premier League match details, including date, time, TV channel and live broadcast details.

When is the Everton-Liverpool match? Date, kick-off time
The match will take place on Wednesday 12 February, starting at 7:30pm GMT, in the first match for both clubs after the FA Cup fourth weekend.
That might suit Everton better, because Moyes' side will play at home to Bournemouth in their second FA Cup match of the season, while Liverpool will make a round trip of around 600 miles to face Plymouth Argyle.

Everton vs Liverpool live broadcast
As was the case on the original date, the match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the UK.
Fans can stream the event on a wide range of devices via the Discovery+ app.
Why was the Everton-Liverpool match cancelled?
With Storm Darragh making landfall in the UK, a yellow weather warning in effect until 6am GMT on 8 December, and winds of up to 70mph, authorities decided the safety risks were too great for an expected attendance of approx. 40 thousand fans.
BBC Radio Merseyside's Julia Bould said: “I think a lot of Everton fans will be hoping this derby will be their final evening under the lights at Goodison Park.” Focus on football at that time. This wish has now been granted.

The new date for the Everton-Liverpool match
The good news for Liverpool is that Argentine midfielder Alexis McAllister is likely to be available, after being suspended on the original date.
Arne Slott's side were six points clear at the top of the table when the rearranged January 13 date was announced, with the teams behind them having a game in hand due to the postponement.
Everton were one point clear of the relegation zone when the fixture was confirmed, with Moyes holding his first press conference since returning to the club the same afternoon.
