The Reds have been cleared to allow 2, supporters into Sunday's game, which has lifted the spirits of everyone connected with the club. Much has changed since 32, fans watched Leicester beat Aston Villa back on March 9. The world, never mind football, is a different place. A few hours later, supporters will be inside Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea take on Leeds, while on Sunday both Tottenham, who host Arsenal, and Liverpool, who welcome Wolves to Anfield, will open their doors too. For Liverpool, this is a big deal. The Reds, remember, were one of the last English clubs to play in front of a full house, with their Champions League last second-leg clash with Atletico Madrid in March attracting more than 52, fans — including, controversially, around 3, who made the trip from Spain, at what we now know was the height of the coronavirus crisis. They have become Premier League champions in the intervening period, their year wait for a league title ending in surreal fashion, behind closed doors and after a three-month suspension of the campaign. On Sunday, finally, their loyal followers — well, some of them — will get the chance to pay tribute in person. Anfield is famed for its atmosphere, but it will be strange to hear just 2, supporters rattling around a stadium which holds more than 54, when full. There will be no paper tickets, with Liverpool using a new online platform, Seat Geek, for the first time for the Wolves game. According to club sources, the feedback has been positive. All supporters must complete a health declaration, which will be sent 24 hours before the game along with their e-ticket, and all will be given a parking space, free of charge, in nearby Stanley Park. Public transport is available, with a limited matchday service in operation. Supporters will be allocated one of three different arrival times, beginning 90 minutes before kick-off, to limit queues. Only those from the Liverpool City Region were given the chance to apply for tickets in the ballot, to prevent the issue of fans travelling internationally, or from areas which are subject to Tier 3 lockdown restrictions.

Liverpool hosted Arsenal to a draw at Anfield yesterday, but fans and pundits alike both noticed that the state of the pitch affected both sides. However, alongside the action, it was evident that both sets of players struggled with the conditions of the pitch, and the state of the grass had a huge effect on the game. Despite the initial comedic element of the action, Tsimikas was forced to hospital before the break, and it was determined that he broke his collarbone, which will be a huge blow for the Reds. Alongside these two major incidents, Martinelli slipped before striking the ball whilst Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, was off his line. The worst of these came when Saka slipped whilst competing for the ball with Ryan Gravenberch, and the winger narrowly escaped a second yellow card. According to reports, Liverpool purposefully over-water their pitch to tactically benefit them.

Luton Town manager Rob Edwards hailed the impact of the Anfield crowd during Liverpool's second-half comeback on Wednesday night. An injury-ravaged Reds side had to come from a goal down to beat Luton , with a frustrating first-half made up for by an impressive second 45, with goals from Virgil van Dijk , Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott. Prior to the match, Jurgen Klopp had called for a "European night in England" to get his players going for the midweek clash, despite the many injury issues. After the game, the boss even drew comparisons with perhaps the Reds' most famous European night, the Champions League win over Barcelona, as he hailed both the team and fans' spirit.

Times have been bad in recent weeks at Anfield, but the reigning Premier League champions are now in a full-blown crisis after losing at home to Everton for the first time this century. That's not a misprint. Everton had not won at the home of their Merseyside neighbours since September and had not tasted victory of any kind against Liverpool, in any competition, since a league win at Goodison Park in October No major big-city derby anywhere in the world has been so one-sided. Espanyol have beaten Barcelona and Torino have been victorious against Juventus in the years since Everton last beat Liverpool, but that long, agonising wait is now over thanks to Richarlison 's third-minute opener and an 82nd-minute Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty. It was a good performance. A lot of fight and spirit. I am really happy. Everton deserved their victory, which triggered the release of celebratory fireworks in nearby Stanley Park and the sounding of car horns in the streets, but the defeat merely compounded what has already been an awful so far for Liverpool.
