Match details

1st Division

Anfield | Tuesday 5 February 1974 at 14:30 UK local time

Liverpool 2 - 1 Coventry City
Half time 1–0

Notes

  • - Midfielder Phil Thompson moved to centre-half in place of Larry Lloyd and played for the rest of his Liverpool career in this position.
    - The match was played on a Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 PM due to government restrictions on floodlight use, resulting in the lowest league attendance at Anfield since the Second Division fixture against Stoke City played on 22/04/1961 when the attendance was 13,389.
