After five wins in as many games, things are starting to look to be on the up for Liverpool on the pitch. As new pictures emerge showing the redevelopments at Anfield Stadium, it appears that the club is looking in equally good shape off it.

Due to open at the start of next season, the state-of-the-art new Anfield Road end will see the historic ground’s capacity raised to approximately 61,000 seats.

The project, which has cost a cool $97m (£80m/€90m) according to The Athletic, is the latest development at Anfield in recent times, following on from the rebuilding of the Main Stand between 2015 and 2016.

Although the previous project took the capacity of the Reds’ home to 53,000, this total still lags behind some of the club’s Premier League rivals, with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all currently boasting larger stadiums.

However, the redevelopment of the Anfield Road end, the stand directly opposite to the world-famous Kop, will see the ground become the country’s third biggest club stadium in terms of capacity when the project is finally complete.

The Anfield Road end was previously redeveloped back in the 1990s but this revamp will see an extra 7,000 seats available for supporters on matchdays, with the allocation to be made up of around 5,200 general admission seats, alongside around 1,800 seats with sports bar lounge and hospitality facilities.

Plans to expand the Anfield Road end emerged back in 2019, with Liverpool City Council having given their approval of the project back in June 2021 and work having duly commenced on the redevelopment of the stand in September of last year.

The second piece of major stadium redevelopment to be undertaken under the ownership of FSG, the project also follows on from the move to the AXA Training Centre back in November of 2020, which cost an estimated $61m (£50m/€57m).

Liverpool.com says: It is clear that the redevelopment of the Anfield Road end will make a major impact when it comes to competing with some of the Premier League’s leading sides and it is great that Liverpool has been able to stay at its spiritual home instead of moving to a new stadium.

In many ways, it is the best of both worlds for Liverpool. With Anfield synonymous with the club and the city, it seems right that the Reds stayed put!
