These latest images show the huge progress made on Anfield as workers continue to develop the new Main Stand.

After months of work the project is no longer a steel shell, with brickwork and staircases among the permanent features that Reds fans will get to know from the beginning of the 2016/17 season.

And in a new development transparent panes are now being fitted into the roof of the stand, lying in the shadow of the truss that was fitted with such care back in the summer.

Anfield is a hive of activity, and the fluorescent jackets of builders working on the revamp are clearly visible in these images as workers continue their efforts.

The now-familiar yellow cranes watch over the building site, which appears to be coming on significantly. It is no longer an empty shell but a labyrinth of scaffolding, industrial lighting and support structures.

The back of the new Main Stand lies directly behind the current one, with arms extending from the new structure to the 650 tonnes roof truss that lies above the existing stands.

When work is completed most of the silver framework will be covered by brickwork, with a red walkway allowing fans access to the stand and a giant club crest looking down on matchday crowds. According to design images, when the Main Stand is complete the only parts of the current structure that will be visible will be the grey stepped feature at the top.

Anfield’s capacity is due to rise to 54,000 as a result of the work.
