GOODISON PARK’S pitch has been left completely covered in snow ahead of Everton’s clash with Crystal Palace.
The Toffees are set to host Palace on Wednesday night in their FA Cup third round replay.
However, freezing temperatures in the north of England have wreaked havoc on the stadium.
Snowfall has left the pitch covered, with no sign of grass or the pitch markings.
Meanwhile, a snowman wearing an Everton scarf and woolly hat has been built in front of one of the stands.
Temperatures could even drop as low as -1°C during Wednesday’s match against Palace.
