Liverpool's new £80m Anfield Road stand redevelopment is set to be completed in time for heavyweight Man City clash on March 9... with capacity at the iconic ground set to be boosted to 61,000 fans

Liverpool’s new Anfield Road stand is set to be fully complete in time for the heavyweight clash against Manchester City on March 9.

The Reds had hoped to complete the £80million redevelopment, which began in September 2021, in time for their first home match of this season, but the project has been plagued by delays.

Sources have told Mail Sport they expect work, which will increase Anfield’s capacity to 61,000, to be complete at the end of February or in early March.

There is an outside chance work on the upper section of the stand may be complete when Liverpool host Luton on February 24, but the City game is more realistic.
