Carling Cup: Liverpool v Arsenal - Match Postponed

Liverpool v Arsenal
Carling Cup Q/F
Tue, Dec 19, 2006, 7.45pm


Tuesday night's Carling Cup Quarter Final between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield has been called off due to heavy fog.

Referee Martin Atkinson decided to postpone the game at 6.45pm after a second pitch inspection found conditions unsuitable for play.

The match had been in doubt from late-afternoon with Anfield shrouded in a thick mist, but hopes were raised when Atkinson undertook his first inspection at 6.15pm.

However by the time a second pitch inspection took place half an hour later conditions had worsened and Atkinson, concerned about visibility for both officials and players, decided the situation was unlikely to improve and postponed the match.

There is no news yet on when the rearranged game will be played.

< Edit >

Liverpool's Carling Cup quarter-final tie against Arsenal will now take place on Tuesday, January 9th 2007 at 7.45pm.

The re-arranged game comes just three days after the FA Cup 3rd round tie between the two sides at Anfield.
