What you only find here

Other sites call guesthouses "steps from Anfield" and give city-centre hotels as a "10-minute drive or 40-minute bus". We worked out the walk on the map from each nearby hotel, found the city hotels right next to the 917 Express stop, and put the club's own match-day bus plan on one page.
