Four months later than hoped, Liverpool will finally open the top tier of the new Anfield Road Stand for this weekend's crunch fixture with Manchester United - with Mail Sport given a behind-the-scenes tour of the development project.
It resembled more of a building site with just over a week until the first match, but Liverpool's stadium staff have been working around the clock to get the work done.
Upon leaving Goodison Park at around 11.30pm on Thursday, the lights were still on around the construction offices.
Liverpool were originally hoping to open the new stand for the first home game of the season against Bournemouth - having asked to play an away match in the opening weekend - but that date was pushed back several times due to complications.
