Liverpool remain perfect in Champions League: Are they among the favourites?

New Brighton days: the Merseyside seaside that generations of fans grew up with

19 October 2026

New Brighton began as a Liverpool merchant's idea. In the 1830s James Atherton bought land at the north-east corner of the Wirral, at the mouth of the Mersey, and laid out a resort with his son-in-law, William Rowson. He named it after Brighton, the resort he hoped to emulate.
