Liverpool have boosted their capacity of Anfield to 54,074 following the £100 million expansion of the main stand, which now has an impressive third tier.
Asked whether that included players such as the England internationals Jamie Vardy and Danny Drinkwater, Ranieri said: “Everybody – they have to stay at the highest level, and when I see them down, I have a player to replace them”. The president of Fenway Sports Group is a quieter figure compared to John W Henry and Tom Werner, but when he speaks on any issue related to the club, it’s certainly worth listening to.

Leicester play their first ever Champions League game on Wednesday night, against Club Brugge in Belgium, in what will be a huge occasion for the club and a landmark moment for many of their players.
“Wins and losses are made here (points to the pitch), not in the transfer market”.
Manager Jurgen Klopp brought his squad to train at Anfield on Thursday evening just so they could familiarise themselves with the new sights and surroundings.
Saturday could provide another fond memory, as Klopp and his Reds look to entertain the new-look Anfield.
“The new players couldn’t really compare (to the old stand)”. I watch every training session, I watch every match, and if someone I see is better, then I change.
“If anyone comes in here and thinks that this stadium doesn’t give us a chance to fight then they are dead – no emotions or whatever”.

The Leicester manager acknowledged that he will need to rotate the team over the course of the season, with Saturday’s trip to Liverpool the first of seven matches in the space of 22 days, yet there was a clear message that nobody should be complacent about their starting place.
