New aerial footage has captured the progress being made on Liverpool's Anfield Road expansion.
Work, which began in September 2021, is on course to be finished this summer on the £80 million redevelopment and will add around 7,000 extra seats, taking the ground's overall capacity to more than 61,000.
The club recently added a new Liverpool crest on the outside of the Anfield Road stand. Due to its measurements and weight, this took three days to carefully install in pieces. Its impressive size is 5 metres by 6.9 metres, which, if laid flat on the ground, would cover the entire 18-yard box.
And now, in footage released by Mister Drone UK, Reds supporters get a full view of the outside of the stand before taking a look at the top of the roof. The drone then captures the stand from inside Anfield and shows just how steep the increase is.

The footage then moves away from inside the ground and shows the work taking place outside the stadium before supporters are treated to an aerial shot of the whole of Anfield. The adaptations to the stand will result in the Reds boasting the fifth-largest football stadium in England and the fourth-highest capacity in the Premier League.
Fans, however, will have to wait until the second game of next season for the grand unveiling of the new Anfield, having requested to play away from home on the opening day of the campaign.
Fixtures for 2023–24 were announced last month, when it was confirmed Liverpool would begin next term with a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on August 13. The Reds are set to unveil their revamped Anfield Road stand when Bournemouth visit six days later.
