Everton have been given the go-ahead to host this month’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
Liverpool City Council approved plans for the Blues’ clash with Liverpool on June 21 to be staged in its natural setting at a safety meeting on Wednesday.
Games are set to be played behind closed doors for the foreseeable future due to the continued threat of the coronavirus which halted fixtures in March.
But Liverpool’s remaining matches faced the threat of being relocated to neutral venues amid fears that fans would converted outside stadiums.
Jurgen Klopp’s side need only two more victories to clinch a historic first Premier League crown since 1990 and had led to fears of mass gatherings.
However the Council has ratified proposals for both the Reds and Everton to complete their remaining four home matches at their respective grounds.
Earlier this month Merseyside Police gave their full backing to the idea by insisting they had ‘no problem’ with the games going ahead as planned.
Wednesday’s meeting between the two clubs, the police and fan groups Spirit of Shankly and The Blue Union over the situation was unanimously agreed.
It means the Anfield club could wrap up their maiden title in the modern age on home soil as early as their June 24 meeting with Crystal Palace.
Rob Carden, Merseyside Police’s Assistant Chief Constable, said: “Working together with both teams, Liverpool City Council, Spirit of Shankly, Blue Union, and other supporter groups we want to ensure that everyone enjoys the game from the safety of their own home.
“In relation to crime and disorder we have no objections to any of the Everton, or Liverpool, home fixtures being played at their respective grounds.
“The main issue of concern was always going to be public health. It is not the role of the police to make operational decisions on the basis of public health. We are guided by experts in public health and the Government.
“We accept the decision of the GSAG in this respect and will work closely with our partners to play our part in delivering safe events.
“We are still in unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic and there are strong concerns in Merseyside, and the wider North West, due to the fact that the R rate here is still higher than the rest of the country.
“For that reason we would urge supporters to do the right thing – stay at home, enjoy the opportunity to watch every second of the game free of charge on your own TV, in your own living room and keep yourself, your family, friends and neighbours safe.”
