Hundreds of homes in Birkenhead have been left without electricity.
SP Energy Networks said an “unexpected” power cut at 18:52 BST had affected the CH42 area of Birkenhead in Wirral and warned problems were likely to continue until 23:07.
“In most cases, our engineers can get your power back on by simply replacing a fuse at the local substation, however, if the fault is complex, this may take us longer to fix,” its website reads, external.
The power cut led to the postponement, shortly before the scheduled 19:45 kick-off, of the Carabao Cup tie between Tranmere Rovers and Burton Albion.
