- Anfield Road stand due to have 7,000 seats added
- Ground-breaking ceremony planned for next week
Liverpool will formally start work next week on a project to increase Anfield’s capacity to more than 61,000. The expansion, which was granted planning permission in June and has been undergoing enabling works throughout the off-season, is due to add 7,000 seats to the Anfield Road stand and is expected to be completed for the 2023-24 campaign.
The club said on Wednesday that work “will begin in earnest with an official ground-breaking ceremony planned for next week”.
