Everton fans will have to wait to see the final Merseyside Derby take place at Goodison Park following Saturday’s development.

Sean Dyche’s side have endured a turbulent season so far with the results proving far from consistent for the Toffees.

It seemed as if Everton were beginning to find their feet on Wednesday night with their emphatic victory over Wolves on Merseyside.

However, Dyche’s side were unable to take that confidence into Saturday’s game as the Merseyside Derby was postponed due to Storm Darragh.

Although the news may have disappointed a number of Evertonians, there has been some good news to come out of the postponement.

Everton doing good off the field with food bank donation

This really is brilliant to see from the Toffees in the wake of what will be disappointing news for their fans.

Jamie Carragher hailed the good Everton offer the city in preparation for their new stadium being fully constructed.

Premier League football clubs have huge resources at their disposal and often find themselves on the wrong end of the spectrum when it comes to news away from the field.

However, the Toffees really have done themselves – and clearly their fans – proud with this action which will benefit a lot of people within their city.
