Notes

- Goalkeeper Kenneth Campbell becomes Liverpool's first line of defence effectively replacing legend Sam Hardy before the last seven league games when Liverpool were in deep relegation trouble. Tom Watson showed immense faith in such an inexperienced 20-year-old. Liverpool's first-choice keeper for the last 7 years, Sam Hardy, moved to Villa Park at the end of the season.
