The women play tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to update this with more good news.
It's not good news but not the worst, the pitch is still waterlogged but so is the Spurs ground where Bristol City were gonna play so both fixtures are to be rearranged.
Liverpool unveiled a statue of Bob Paisley carrying Emlyn Hughes. It depicts a scene when Paisley carried off future Reds captain Emlyn Hughes after he was injured during a 1-1 home draw with Tottenham Hotspur in April 1968. It was commissioned and donated by Standard Chartered. Don't know how we've gone so long without one.

He would be pretty happy with what the reds are doing this season so I'm glad his statue is there to see it.
Not so much the first half. I genuinely thought this could be the one where we lose based on the first half!
It started with a rare mistake from Van Dijk who passes straight to Romeu but he rushes his through ball to Ings and Alisson collects, easily.
Robertson got the ball out from two Southampton players, it gets to Alisson who collects, some think it's a back pass. He then lumped it down field for Salah to chase, almost setting up a controversial goal.
Alexander-Arnold finds the roof of the net when firing in a cross.
Salah fires just wide after Oxlade-Chamberlain's smart knock-down. Via a deflection, so it's a corner but it's cleared.
Long pass from Fabinho nearly gets Salah in but McCarthy is out to claim before Djenepo wins a corner up the other end, forcing a save from Alisson.
Van Dijk's back-heel is saved before Firmino is thwarted inside the area. Firmino is then brought down on the line and fans want a penalty, VAR says no.
Ings beats Gomez and has a great chance but it was blocked by Long.
Long forced Alisson into action after Gomez's header falls straight to the Irish striker.
Ings nips in ahead of Gomez. Alisson is out quickly to smother it.
For the first time in almost two months, we have a Liverpool league game which they are not winning 1-0 at half time. The second half had to be way better.
Right at the start Fabinho tackles Ings in one box and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fires low from near the edge of the box to leave McCarthy rooted. Ings wants a penalty he was already falling over before Fabinho's leg may or may not have made contact so no penalty, Liverpool goal.
Liverpool think they have scored one of the team goals of the season but Salah had strayed offside before converting. It all started when Alisson laid it to Alexander-Arnold and then several passes later, ended in the net. VA didn't need to get their lines out for that one.
Ings shot deflected wide for an eighth Southampton corner, comes to nothing again.
The second goal came through Henderson. Alexander-Arnold's long ball over the top to Firmino, he took it beautifully before raiding down the left, cutting it back and leaving it to the skipper to do the rest.
Gomez and Van Dijk worked into some overtime after a poor ball back from Alexander-Arnold. Djenepo was straight onto it and it took both centre-backs to clear it away from him.
Obafemi and Adams on for Long and Ings - Finally we can see Danny Ings and chant his name.
Salah is sent clean through and he makes no mistake as he pokes past McCarthy for his 17th of the season. I missed this one getting the dog back inside but I didn't miss the party that came with it. 'We're gonna win the league,' started getting chanted for the first time this afternoon.
Oxlade-Chamberlain makes way for Naby Keita.
Another corner for Southampton as Alisson races out to grab the ball then realises he'd be outside his area so lobs it behind... still nothing from it. It was strange to see Alisson save then lob the ball away.
Minamino on for Wijnaldum
Minamino misses a sitter that could've been Keita's.
Lallana on for Henderson. Huge ovation for Henderson, who has been excellent today.
A hat-trick of assists for Firmino and a brace for Salah tapping home from close range.
73 points - more points now than they did when they finished 18 other Premier League seasons. iverpool have now won each of their last 20 league matches at Anfield; only once in English top-flight history has a team had a longer winning streak on home soil – Liverpool themselves between January and December 1972 under Bill Shankly.
22 points clear until tomorrow.
Time for a nice winter break.
Next up Shrewsbury at home, FA cup replay, Tuesday 4th Feburary 2020, 1945.
If you somehow don't know it's completely up to the u23s. I can't wait for people to shut up about that- why's everyone so keen to make Klopp the monster of the FA cup's honour?
