Notes

  • - Liverpool wore blue and white hooped socks due to a color clash with Arsenal.

    - Bob Paisley was left out of Liverpool's line-up. Albert Stubbins thankfully lifted his spirits: "Bob was shattered to be left out. He was very low and contemplating leaving the club, but I told him not to make any hasty decisions."
