Merseyside Metro Mayor Steve Rotherham has confirmed that contingencies are in place as Liverpool faces a snow warning later this week.
Everton are set to play their first-ever FA Cup tie at the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday afternoon, when Sunderland are the visitors in the third round.
The Premier League's newest stadium will host a match in the world's oldest cup competition, one which the Toffees have won on five occasions.
The most recent of those successes was during the 1994-95 campaign, when Everton were of course still at their Goodison Park fortress.
The old home of the men's first team remains upright, instead being used to house the women's team of the Toffees.
Everton have transport contingencies in place ahead of snow warning
Speaking to BBC Merseyside Radio via Liverpool Echo, Metro Mayor Steve Rotherham has outlined some of the plans ahead of Everton's clash with Sunderland in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
“We’re expecting bad weather at the weekend, Everton are playing at home, so we’re expecting some bad weather and we’ve got some contingencies in place,” said Metro chief Rotherham earlier in the week.
Like most parts of the United Kingdom, Merseyside has hit with a spell of poor weather earlier this week, bringing disruption to transport.
Some of the Merseyside Metro services were brought to a halt by ice on the tracks, preventing the trains from collecting the power they require to operate.
Tens of thousands of Everton supporters are expected to use public transport to and from the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
There have been plenty of teething issues around the docks with the introduction of Premier League football matches, including traffic congestion and disruption to local residents.
Nevertheless, Everton are planning to push on boldly with their plans, including a blueprint to host outdoor events at the arena during the summer months.
FGG says: Another first for the Hill Dickinson
As the brief history of the Hill Dickinson grows, the stadium will experience many firsts, including its first match in snowy conditions.
That could arrive this weekend when Sunderland make the trip to Merseyside for an all-Premier League FA Cup battle.
Challenges will be posed by any inclement weather, but it appears as if the necessary steps are being taken by the relevant authorities.
Everton will therefore look to do their talking on the pitch and secure a spot in the fourth round of the oldest cup competition.
