In the European Cup, there was an early disappointment with a loss to Dinamo Tbilisi in the first round. Liverpool went on to lose in the semi-finals of the FA Cup to the eventual runners-up, Arsenal, after a four game marathon. They also lost in the semi-finals of the Football League Cup to the eventual runners up, Nottingham Forest, who lost in the final to a Wolverhampton Wanderers team captained by former Liverpool captain Emlyn Hughes, who left Liverpool before the start of the league season.
