Man United vs Bournemouth and Liverpool vs Brighton postponement latest as Storm Boelo wreaks havoc

Liverpool's clash with Brighton and Manchester United's meeting with Bournemouth have both been thrown into doubt on Sunday as Storm Boelo prepares to wreak havoc.

Yellow weather warnings for wind in the north-west area of England have been declared by the Met Office, with disruption anticipated.

Liverpool will hope to see the game go ahead, as they look to build on the momentum they have gathered in recent weeks.

Andoni Iraola's side have won five of their last six games across all competitions but will face a fierce test in the form of Brighton, who are unbeaten in their last eight games.

A postponement at Old Trafford may well earn Michael Carrick another week in charge of Man United.

The Red Devils boss is under massive pressure and may well find himself sacked if his team do not emerge with three points on Sunday.

Storm Boelo threatens postponements

Much of northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are set to brace for the impact of Storm Boelo on Saturday.

The strongest winds are expected in Scotland, while Manchester and Liverpool will also be affected.

The Met Office have advised that flying debris is possible, along with damage to buildings and trees potentially affecting road, rail, air and ferry services.

Those planning to travel to each game should keep a close eye on the weather and the latest advice, with both games potentially subject to postponement.

Wins of 55-65 mph are expected inland on Sunday, while Liverpool and other coastal areas could see gusts up to 70-80 mph.

Both games are currently due to go ahead at 2pm GMT, pending inspection of the conditions on the day at both stadiums.

Other games at risk of Storm Boelo

A number of Championship clashes will also be at risk of postponement due to the landing of Storm Boelo.

Sheffield United's clash against Derby County and Preston North End's game against West Brom both fall in the warning zone on Saturday.

On Sunday, Hull City's game against Brentford is at risk, as well as Sunderland's clash against Leeds United.

Fans are advised to pay close attention to the latest updates on the status of each game ahead of starting their journey.
