Watch: The Liverpool tunnel looks completely different after main stand extension

Robert Redmond

The iconic “This is Anfield” sign is still there, but the stadium’s tunnel looks completely different.

Liverpool will play their first game at home since Anfield’s main stand was expanded against Leicester City on Saturday evening.

The stadium’s capacity has been raised from just over 45,000 to 54,074, becoming the sixth largest stadium in English football.

As part of the development, the famous Anfield tunnel area has been renovated.

The tight, claustrophobic tunnel looks unrecognisable…

The famous Anfield sign remains, but the tunnel area is a lot more spacious and arguably less intimidating to opposition players.

Although the added noise within the stadium from the 8,000 extra fans should make up for that.
