ECHO writer, Ryan Paton, takes you on a pub crawl to Anfield ahead of the Reds' first home game of the season There are countless different ways to do a pub crawl on the way to Anfield and this is just one of them. Excitement is building as Liverpool FC return to action this weekend with their first home game of the season. Thousands will descend on L4 tomorrow for Arne Slot's maiden Premier League game in the dugout at Anfield.

The Reds will be hoping to build on their impressive second half performance against Ipswich to make it six points from their first two games when they take on Brentford. Going the match is becoming increasingly hard work with expensive ticket prices and crazy kick off times making people's ultimate passion becoming more of a chore than it needs to be. However, Sunday's 4.

30pm kick off on a bank holiday weekend is the stuff dreams are made of and many will be planning to get out early and make a day of it. There's no greater chamber than the pubs of L4 to get into the spirit of the new season and put the world to rights about what can be expected from the first season. How do you think the new head coach has settled in so far? Can the squad mount a title challenge this season? Will Liverpool ever make another signing? Fortunately the surrounding areas around the ground are blessed with many watering holes that provide the perfect way to get your matchday started in style.

I have been a season ticket holder at Anfield my whole life, but my journey towa.
