Liverpool will submit their planning application for the further redevelopment of Anfield this week.
The planning application for the Anfield Road stand had originally been suspended in spring this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, details will be handed over to Liverpool City Council, and approval would see the ground's capacity expanded by around 7,000.
That would see Anfield's capacity increased to more than 61,000 - giving it the third largest in the top flight.
Only Tottenham Hotspur stadium and Old Trafford have a higher capacity - with the north London ground holding 62,062 and Manchester United's home ground holding 74,879.
