Liverpool have moved to dismiss speculation suggesting that their plans for a new stadium have been shelved due to financial concerns.
Weekend press reports had claimed that the Reds would be forced to mothball plans for a new home and instead focus on expanding Anfield.
However, a statement for the club confirmed: "The story is completely wrong.
"No-one has been asked to look at increasing the capacity of Anfield with a view to us staying at the present ground.
"Global market conditions may have delayed the project, but the club remains committed to building a new world-class LFC Stadium on the site in Stanley Park.
"Those plans have not changed."
