Manchester City are about to close gap on Liverpool after £80m FSG move

Manchester City are aiming to follow Liverpool's lead in extending the capacity of their stadium to 60,000.

The Reds are in the middle of the redevelopment of the Anfield Road End, with the completion of the work in time for the start of the 2023/24 season seeing the capacity of Anfield raised to 61,000 with the addition of another 7,000 seats to help satisfy the enormous demand for tickets for Liverpool games.

With matchday revenues at Anfield set to push £90m for the 2021/22 financial year, which closed at the end of May for Liverpool and included a season where supporters returned in their numbers post pandemic, the redevelopment is likely to see matchday revenues pushed to around the £100m mark when the stand is fully operational, a boost that will likely be seen in the 2023/24 accounts.
