Liverpool are encouraging supporters who cannot attend this weekend’s Merseyside derby at Anfield, to return their tickets to the club.
The Reds return to action in the Premier League from the international break with a blockbuster fixture. They face Everton, who would travel across town to visit Anfield in their 243rd meeting.

However, it has been confirmed that the upper tier of the Anfield Road stand will not open this year.
This was due to the main contractor going into administration shortly before the first home game of the season.
Fans disappointed with Liverpool delaying the Anfield Road Stand opening
Indeed, the fans who had purchased tickets in the new upper tier for the upcoming derby were left disappointed by the news.
It meant that their ticket for the game would no longer be valid and instead would be refunded.
The tickets were sold with the expectation that the expansion would be completed in time. However, this hasn’t been the case due to various delays.
Hence, to help those supporters the Reds are calling on those who couldn’t make it to Saturday’s game to use the Ticket Exchange platform on their official website.
This is an attempt to allow those who have had their tickets canceled to attend the game.
In return, the first 4,000 people who use the platform to return their ticket by 12pm (BST) on Wednesday will be given a full refund, allowed to keep their match credit, and handed a £10 voucher per ticket returned.

Meanwhile, it is hoped that Anfield will be able to welcome 61,000 supporters at the start of 2024. The Reds have played all of their home games so far in front of 48,000 capacity. The work continues to be on course for completion.
