Liverpool start to relay new pitch and drainage system at Anfield ahead of return to Champions League

Liverpool start to relay new pitch and drainage system at Anfield ahead of return to Champions League.

Liverpool are preparing for the new season by relaying the Anfield pitch.

The Reds will play on a brand new surface as set themselves up for a long campaign as they fight in the Premier League and Champions League.

It is the first time in three years the pitch has been relayed - after building works on the Main Stadium prevented a fresh batch of turf in the last two summers.

The new turf is a "Desso GrassMaster" which is a combination of natural grass and 20 million artificial grass fibres.

The natural grass roots mix with the artificial turf fibres and the result is a pitch that can take three times as much football as a normal, natural grass pitch - which is needed for the hectic schedule.

Wembley, the Etihad and the Emirates also use the blend.

The upgrade will mark a year's anniversary of the upgraded Main Stand - which was opened last September to boost the capacity of th Merseyside stadium to 54,074.

This is what Anfield should look like come August
