Photos of the snow that threatened to postpone Liverpool against Manchester United around Anfield have emerged.

Images show snow covering all four of the stadium's stands.

Shovels were also out around Anfield, with one wrapped-up staff member wearing a hi-vis jacket photographed clearing the pavement outside The Kop.

Over at Stanley Park, goalposts were covered in snow, and a snowman was visible in the shadow of the stadium.

A statement read: "Today's fixture against Manchester United will go ahead as planned.

We look forward to seeing you there"
