Liverpool plan to partially open the upper tier of their new Anfield Road stand when they face Manchester United game on 17 December.
Its opening was delayed until 2024 after Liverpool changed contractors to Rayner Rowen Group following Buckingham Group's fall into administration.
The Reds believe about half of the upper tier will be open for the United fixture, pending safety approval.
That would also be the case for games against West Ham, Arsenal and Newcastle United later in December.
"The upper tier of the new stand will be partially open for the upcoming fixture against Manchester United on 17 December, with several thousand general admission seats expected to be available to supporters," reads a Liverpool statement.
