Liverpool have unveiled plans to expand Anfield's capacity to nearly 60,000, with detailed proposals to expand the Main Stand that also include a new home for the Hillsborough Memorial.

If approved, an additional 8,500 seats would take the capacity of the new three-tiered Main Stand to 21,000, while a further 4,800 could be added to the Anfield Road Stand to boost the overall capacity to around 58,000.

"To move forward with our expansion plans we need to have certainty that we can navigate the complex planning process and secure the support of the community, home owners, businesses and other key stakeholders. This consultation exercise is an important part of this process," said Liverpool's managing director, Ian Ayre.

"We started this journey just over 18 months ago and a lot of work has already been done, there is still an incredible amount to do, but good progress has been made so far and we are proud to be able to unveil our plans."
