Arsneal's Carling Cup Quarter final aginst liverpool was called off due to heavy fog. The visibilty was severly reduced due to the fog making it difficult for the refrees and fans to watch the match. Match Refree Martin Atkinson said " It is very misty and has been for the last three hours. We have been in the stands, looked round from different angles from a spectators' point of view and the weather is not getting better - you can't see some parts of the pitch."
"When you look across the pitch from the far (Centenary Stand) side you can't see this touchline. I have to think of my assistant referees and the control of the game."
Anfield stadium manager Ged Poynton expects Liverpool's Carling Cup quarter final against Arsenal to be rescheduled for January 9 or 10 citing it as the the earliest opportunity for the quarter final to be played as both sides are competing twice a week in the Premiership over the festive period.
