Liverpool’s 0-0 tie with Manchester United on Sunday resulted in the greatest attendance for a game at Anfield in more than 60 years.

The upper tier of the new, expanded Anfield Road Stand was unveiled for the first time for a Premier League match, drawing 57,158 supporters.

The Reds’ largest home crowd since a 2-1 triumph over Burnley in an FA Cup fourth-round replay in February 1963, when 57,906 fans witnessed the hosts earn victory courtesy of Ronnie Moran’s extra-time penalty.

The previous biggest league attendance during that time period had been 56,202 in April 1973, when Bill Shankly’s side clinched the First Division championship with a goalless draw against Leicester City.

Overall, Sunday’s attendance is the club’s third-largest in league history, trailing only the 58,757 who watched Liverpool draw 2-2 with Chelsea in December 1949.

Sunday’s attendance also fell short of the 57,561 who turned out for Middlesbrough’s visit on October 23, 1948, when Jack Balmer, Albert Stubbins, and Billy Liddell all scored.

The attendance at Anfield on Sunday was the largest in Premier League history.

In addition, when Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool face West Ham United on Wednesday, a new Anfield League Cup attendance record might be achieved.

The current record in that competition is 53,051 for a match versus Tottenham Hotspur in October 2016.

Liverpool’s all-time attendance record at Anfield is 61,905, established on February 2, 1952, during an FA Cup match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
