Liverpool
Watch the amazing timeline of the Anfield Road expansion from 2021 to 2023.

Anfield are just months away from unveiling their brand new look and the nearly two-year expansion schedule is a fascinating sight.
Jurgen Klopp’s groundbreaking ceremony at the end of September 2021 kicked off Anfield Road’s latest extension, a project that will take the stadium’s capacity to over 61,000.
What was once a car park and fan zone is now an impressive stand which, at 39 meters high, adds to the already incredible skyline.
Progress may have been gradual from the initial groundwork to the present day, but a timeline of aerial work shows just how impressive the renovation has been.
In the This Is Anfield video you can see how dramatically the landscape has changed and how big the new Anfield Road End is.
The 300 ton roof truss proved to be a milestone in July 2022, requiring two 600 ton cranes at a height of 164 meters for its easy assembly.
It stood on the existing structure and was ready for the construction of the new roof before the old one was demolished at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Today, the new upper level is structurally complete after the removal of the old upper level and the installation of solar panels on the new roof.
The new pitch is to be moved next week. The construction time is only three days and will require a three week wait before it is operational.
The internal work is ongoing and although there is still work to be done for the Buckingham Group contractors, Liverpool are still planning their first home game against Bournemouth on August 19.
It won’t be long before the transformation is complete, but the progress so far is even clearer thanks to the progress timeline from 2021 to 2023.

The “disrespectful” player is considering staying with Chelsea, but Pochettino wants him to leave.
Romelu Lukaku is now open to the idea of staying at Chelsea, but Mauricio Pochettino has other ideas.
This was stated by Marco Conterio of Tutto Mercato Web.
What’s the latest on Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku? We see…
What’s the story?
Well, the Belgian caused quite a stir at Stamford Bridge this week. A report from Corriere dello Sport has said that Lukaku is ready to hire lawyers to talk to Todd Boehly about a move from Chelsea to Inter Milan.
The Italian giants are keen on securing another loan deal, although Conterio believes Chelsea are unwilling to consider another temporary move.
There’s an offer from Saudi Arabia on the table but the 30-year-old doesn’t see any interest in it.
It was even said that Lukaku will “beat his first players on the table” to force an exit.
That seems to have upset Pochettino. Conterio explains how Lukaku is now demonstrating a willingness to stay in West London as a return to Inter looks unlikely.
However, according to the Italian journalist, Pochettino has “other ideas”, suggesting that he is not interested in reinstating the Belgian international.
Al-Ahli has since improved its bid to sign Lukaku and is said to be more considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
Lukaku should leave Chelsea
Hopefully something stands between Al-Ahli and Lukaku as the striker has to leave Chelsea: he has burned bridges.
Ally McCoist said on talkSPORT that Pochettino should get rid of the Antwerp-born striker to ensure a positive dressing room environment next season, adding that Lukaku’s heart doesn’t appear to be with Chelsea after that famous Inter Milan interview in 2021.
Graeme Souness even called the Belgian ‘disrespectful’ after hearing the remarkable comments.
Lukaku could do well under Pochettino next season, but with young talents like Armando Broja, Christopher Nkunku and new Nicolas Jackson in the Argentina attack, it’s time to develop the 30-year-old.
