Notes

  • - Grimsby Town were actually the home team in this match, but the LFC directors managed to get the Grimsby directors to change the venue to Anfield for a good fee. According to the Lincolnshire Echo, that fee was one hundred pounds plus half the (gross) gate receipts. Five hundred Grimsby supporters travelled to Liverpool on a special train.
