The ward is within the [[Liverpool Riverside (UK Parliament constituency)|Liverpool Riverside]] Parliamentary constituency.
==Background== The [[Ward (politics)|ward]] was created in 1900 with a single councillor elected in that year, a second was elected in 1901 and a third in 1902. The boundary of the ward has been altered in 1953, 1973, 1980, 2004, and 2023. From 2023 the ward is represented by two councillors.
===1980 boundaries=== [[File:Liverpool Anfield (1980 ward).svg|thumb|left|alt=A map of the city of Liverpool showing 1980 council ward boundaries. Anfield ward is highlighted|1980 ward boundaries]] A report of the [[Local Government Boundary Commission for England]] published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Anfield ward was represented by three councillors.<ref>The City of Liverpool (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1979</ref>
The report describes the boundaries as "Commencing at a point where Rocky Lane meets Belmont Road, thence northwestwards along said road and the northeastern boundary of Breckfield Ward to the southeastern boundary of Melrose Ward, thence northeastwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of County Ward, thence northeastwards and southeastwards along said boundary and the western boundary of Clubmoor Ward to a point opposite the southeastern boundary of No 78 Vanbrugh fioad, thence southwestwards to and along said boundary, crossing Vanbrugh Road and continuing along Thombury Road to Trouville Road, thence northwestwards along said road to Westcombe Road, thence southwestwards along said road and Manningham Road to Priory Road, thence southeastwards along said road and Lower Breck Road to Rocky Lane, thence southwestwards along said lane to the point of commencement".<ref name="lgbce80">{{cite web |title=Report No.319 |url=http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission For England |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320084653/http://s3-eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/lgbce/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/11646/319.-liverpool.pdf |archive-date=2022-03-20}}</ref>
===2004 boundaries=== [[File:Liverpool Anfield (2004 ward).svg|thumb|left|alt=A map of the city of Liverpool showing 2004 council ward boundaries. Anfield ward is highlighted|2004 ward boundaries]] A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. The Anfield ward was largely unchanged gaining small areas of the former [[Breckfield (Liverpool ward)|Breckfield]] and [[Tuebrook (Liverpool ward)|Tuebrook]] wards, and losing a small area to the new [[Tuebrook and Stoneycroft (ward)|Tuebrook and Stoneycroft]] ward. The ward boundaries followed the [[Canada Dock Branch]] line, Townsend Lane, between Vallance Road and Curate Road, Behind Westcombe Roadand Manningham Road, Priory Road, Lower Breck Road, around the outer boundary of St Margaret's Primary School, between Rockhouse Street and Thurnam Street, Rocky Lane, Belmont Road, Oakfield Road, Walton Breck Road and Walton Lane.<ref name="bce04">{{cite web|url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/north-west/merseyside/liverpool|title=Boundary Commission Report|date=15 May 2010}}</ref>
The population of the 2004 ward at the [[2021 United Kingdom census|2021 census]] was 14,730.<ref>{{cite web |title=Anfield (Ward, United Kingdom) |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/northwestengland/wards/ |website=citypopulation.de}}</ref>
===2023 boundaries=== In 2023 the ward boundaries were changed following a 2022 review by the [[Local Government Boundary Commission for England]], which decided that the previous 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The ward was reformed as a two-member ward, retaining the majority of the former Anfield ward, losing the southernmost extent to the new [[Everton East (Liverpool ward)|Everton East]] ward, and gaining a small section of the former [[Tuebrook and Stoneycroft (ward)|Tuebrook and Stoneycroft]] ward.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lgbce.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-03/liverpool_final_recommendations_report.pdf |title=New electoral arrangements for Liverpool City Council Final Recommendations |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission for England |date=1 March 2023}}</ref>
The current ward boundaries are Walton Lane to the west; the [[Canada Dock Branch|Canada Dock Branch Line]] to the north; Townsend Lane and Breck Road to the east; and Walton Breck Road and Oakfield Road to the south. The ward contains [[Anfield Cemetery]], [[Stanley Park, Liverpool|Stanley Park]] and [[Anfield|Anfield Stadium]].
