Liverpool's Barclays Premier League home game against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday has been postponed due to safety issues as a result of the weather, Liverpool have confirmed.

Earlier today Fulham confirmed that tomorrow's clash with Portsmouth has been postponed due to the freezing weather conditions.

The club felt that the conditions around Craven Cottage meant it was too dangerous for fans to get to the ground.

A club statement read: "Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Portsmouth at the Cottage has been postponed due to the adverse weather conditions which are not expected to improve over the next 24 hours.

"The safety of supporters is of paramount importance to the Club and following an inspection of the areas surrounding Craven Cottage on Friday morning it was deemed unsafe for fans to travel."

Burnley's match against Stoke at Turf Moor tomorrow has also been postponed along with Bolton's match against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
