According to a report, the last Merseyside derby to be played at Goodison Park will take place on February 11.
Everton were due to invite city rivals Liverpool to their famous old ground on Saturday afternoon, but the match was postponed in the eleventh hour due to Storm Darragh.
Both clubs are in discussions with the Premier League, police and broadcasters about rescheduling the match.
According to The Mirror, the match is scheduled for February next year, although this still needs to be approved by UEFA, who do not appreciate domestic matches taking place on the same night as their European competitions.
Premier League rules state that postponed matches must be played in the next available midweek slot, but the Reds' progression in the Carabao Cup means options are limited.
Arne Slot's team faces Southampton in the quarter-finals of the competition and may not have a free midweek until February if they reach the last four. Meanwhile, the Reds' perfect record in the Champions League group stages means they have all but avoided a two-legged play-off in the new year.
TNT Sports has the UK TV rights to the Champions League match and play-off, but has given the green light to the new date, according to The Mirror's report.
The match could be officially confirmed after the Carabao Cup quarter-finals next week and once Liverpool are mathematically assured of their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Premier League leaders need just one point from their two remaining group stage matches against Lille and PSV next month.
Defeat to Russell Martin's side in the League Cup could see the match take place a month earlier.
