The two northern giants were drawn to meet each other at the semi final stage of the European Fairs Cup competition in 1971, guaranteeing England at least one berth in the final of the tournament, its final staging before reconstitution as the UEFA Cup the following season.

It was a mouth watering pairing and both Revie and Shankly declared their satisfaction with the draw. For both clubs, the Fairs Cup represented one part of a potential double: Leeds were racing neck and neck with Arsenal in their perennial pursuit of the League championship, while Liverpool would face those selfsame Gunners in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Peter Lorimer was unavailable for selection after injuring a hamstring in the weekend's draw at Huddersfield, but Revie had the significant consolation of being able to recall skipper Billy Bremner for his first appearance since 23 February. For the Scot, the season had been one long injury nightmare.
