The ground safety advisory group at Liverpool City Council met on Wednesday and has approved a safety certificate to allow the match to go ahead at Everton’s home ground.
Discussions were also held between the Council and Merseyside Police, Liverpool and Everton football clubs as well as the Spirit of Shankly and Blue Union supporters groups, regarding the fulfilment of public health protocols for the match.
The fixture was previously on a list of games which had been requested by local police forces to be played at a neutral venue amid public health fears, due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to the UK’s football police lead Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts.
In the initial round of Premier League fixtures published last Friday, the venue was marked as ‘TBC’ but all matches in the top flight’s restart confirmed so far been given the all-clear to be played at usual home venues.
Liverpool, who currently hold a 25-point lead ahead of second-placed Manchester City, could seal the title with victory at Goodison Park, if Pep Guardiola’s side are beaten by Arsenal on June 17.
