Notes: Alavés changed their starting defensive 5-4-1 formation into a more balanced 4-3-1-2 formation after Eggen was replaced by Iván Alonso as they were already two goals down in the scoreline; they were settled like this: Contra, Karmona, Óscar Téllez, Geli; Astudillo, Desio, Tomić, Jordi Cruijff; Javi Moreno and Iván Alonso
Around the 55-60 mn mark, Magno and Jordi Cruijff changed side, this didn't last too much since they returned to the positions where they started the second half after Pablo was subbed in as central AMF behind Iván Alonso
After Liverpool made their last substitution Alavés changed again their formation into a 4-4-2 with Tomić as RMF, Desio alongside Pablo as DMFs, Jordi Cruijff as LMF/left AMF and Magno alongside Iván Alonso as forwards
After Magno was sent off, Iván Alonso played in Magno's position
