Man City set to hand FSG new challenge by following £80m Liverpool move

Manchester City are looking to follow Liverpool's lead in increasing the capacity of their ground beyond 60,000.

The current Premier League champions have revealed they are currently undertaking feasibility studies with regards to increasing the capacity of their Etihad Stadium home by expanding the size of the North Stand, as well as creating a new covered 'fan zone'.

The move by City is being pursued with the goal in mind to turn the stadium, which is currently the fifth largest Premier League ground with a capacity of 53,400, into a "best-in-class" sport and entertainment venue that would also include more food and drink outlets, a new club shop and museum, workspace and an onsite hotel.
