The shirt costs £90 from the club website - the regular red home shirt is priced at only £50 

The limited edition 'Pitch Black' shirt, which goes on sale on Thursday, is the fourth different kit Liverpool have available for sale to their fans.

It is available alongside the traditional red home shirt, the green and white away jersey, and the third strip, in bright orange.

According to the club website, the shirt 'provides comfort as you cut through the opposition, while the embroidered 125th anniversary year club crest shows where your heart lies.'

Liverpool celebrated 125 years as a club before their 1-1 draw with Burnley at Anfield

Liverpool marked 125 years since the club was founded with celebrations before their Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday. 

A special mosaic display was formed in the stands by the Reds supporters at Anfield before the game - although the visitors spoiled the party somewhat.

Burnley earned a 1-1 draw after taking the lead through Scott Arfield, before Mo Salah equalised for the hosts.
