Anfield's 96 Avenue has been renamed following the death of Andrew Devine.
The walkway in front of the ground's Main Stand has been updated to be called 97 Avenue after Mr Devine died last month from injuries sustained in the Hillsborough tragedy.
His name is set to be added to the stadium's disaster memorial and Liverpool FC's 96 emblem will be updated to 97 on next season's club shirts in memory of the 55-year-old.

Mr Devine, from Mossley Hill, defied the odds for decades after he suffered severe injuries in the terrace crush at the Leppings Lane end of the Sheffield stadium, allocated to Liverpool supporters for the club's 1989 FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest.
Just 22 at the time, his chest was crushed and his brain deprived of oxygen.
His parents were told he was unlikely to survive more than six months but the courageous Liverpool fan defied expectations and, supported by his family, continued to attend matches when possible.
Following his death in July, Liverpool coroner Andre Rebello ruled Mr Devine was unlawfully killed.
The verdict was in line with the findings of a jury that, in 2016, concluded the other 96 innocent men, women and children who died as a result of injuries sustained in the tragedy were failed by authorities including South Yorkshire Police.
The jury also found Liverpool FC supporters held no blame for the disaster.
Following Mr Devine's death, his family paid tribute in a touching statement that said: "Our collective devastation is overwhelming but so too is the realisation that we were blessed to have had Andrew with us for 32 years since the Hillsborough tragedy.
"We welcome the conclusion of the coroner, Mr Andre Rebello, made today at Liverpool Coroner’s Court, that Andrew was unlawfully killed, making him the 97th fatality of the tragic events that occurred on April 15, 1989.
"In the intervening years, Andrew has been a much loved son, brother and uncle. He has been supported by his family and a team of dedicated carers, all of whom devoted themselves to him.
"As ever, our thoughts are with all of those affected by Hillsborough."
The name change to 97 Avenue comes ahead of a tribute to Mr Devine at Anfield ahead of Liverpool FC's first home game of the season on Saturday.
A minute's silence will be held and a special Kop mosaic will also be displayed, which will feature the Eternal Flames with the number 97.
