- Roger Hunt rested and Ian St John remained on bench. Tommy Lawrence out with gastritis. Alec Lindsay played up front with Evans, replacing Hunt. Graham took St John's midfield role.
- Number of assists missing due to number of goals as reports are not too detailed on each goal.
Dundalk won the coin toss and "possibly the only team in football who would willingly have given Liveprool the opportunity for a second half assault on the Kop end." - Liverpool Daily Post.
- Gerard Houllier's first game at Anfield. He went on the Kop with Patrice Bergues: "I suppose going to the game with Patrice that day was a touch of destiny. Patrice had come over to spend a few days with me because I was here on my own, and so we decided to and see Liverpool play Dundalk. What impressed me first of all was the atmosphere inside the stadium. We were on the Kop, and it was fantastic to see the unconditioned support of the fans. I was also impressed by the energy which was shown in the game, and the stamina of the players. I think 15 minutes before the end of the match the score was 8-0 and still Liverpool went looking for goals. In fact the score at half-time was 5-0. In France, if you are 5-0 up at half-time the game is over in the sense that you don't bother trying to increase your score. It's not like that in England."
