Liverpool to apply for a safe standing licence as Anfield rail seating expanded

The Kop at Anfield is to get an additional 3,000 rail seats as the club is applying for a safe standing licence (Peter Byrne/PA).

Liverpool are to apply for a safe standing licence as they expand rail seating by a further 3,000 to 13,300 at Anfield.

The initiative has been trialled for a couple of years, but they are now set to become the seventh Premier League club after Wolves, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Brentford and Chelsea to have a licence.
