Eight Premier League match postponement statements released following Storm Darragh chaos
Storm Darragh has decimated the football fixture schedule this weekend with the Premier League's scheduled matches also impacted.
10 matches were due to be played across the weekend, however Storm Darragh has had other ideas. With winds clocked at over 90mph in some parts of the country and 'danger to life' warnings sent out, action has been forced upon Premier League and its member clubs' officials to ensure the safety of those attending - or who would have been attending - this weekend.
As things stand the Premier League itself and the clubs involved have been forced to release a combined eight statements in response to the havoc caused by the weather. Here, MEN Sport brings together every single update released so far.

The Merseyside derby at Goodison Park has officially been postponed this morning with Everton, Liverpool and the Premier League all releasing statements.
All relayed the same message: "Following a Safety Advisory Group meeting at Goodison Park, attended by officials from both clubs, as well as representatives from Merseyside Police and Liverpool City Council this morning, it was decided that, due to the risk to safety in the local area due to strong wind gusts, and an amber severe wind warning that remains in place until 6am on Sunday, today’s fixture should be postponed on safety grounds."
Everton apologised for the inconvenience as their individual statement clarified that all tickets purchased by home supporters for the match will be valid for the rearranged fixture. Information on that will be released in due course.
