FORM GUIDE

Somehow it went unnoticed due to a Man Utd game, but yesterday we had an anniversary of unusual event. Liverpool wearing away kits at Anfield, how often do you see that? But that's exactly what happened when #LFC faced Valencia at home in UEFA Cup on 20 October 1998! pic.twitter.com/ZZr9SJtZ1F

Didn't Liverpool play in the away white kit even though they were the home team?

(Jan 23, 2020) Kevin Nealon said:

Yes, they did. I have recently added an image of Patrik Berger's match worn shirt and photos above.

The following Saturday Liverpool won 5:1 against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Michael Owen gave Liverpool the lead. Dougie Freedman equalised for Forest. Another goal from Owen and a goal from Steve McManaman gave Liverpool a half time lead. In the second half Owen completed his hat trick with a penalty and rounded the scoring off with his fourth goal of the afternoon. The result left Liverpool in 3rd position in the Premier League on 16 points after 10 matches; 4 points behind leaders Aston Villa.
