The 1970–71 season was '''Liverpool Football Club''''s 79th season in existence and their ninth consecutive season in the First Division. They finished fifth in the league, lost in the FA Cup final to the League and Cup double winners Arsenal, and lost on aggregate 1–0 in the semi-finals of the Fairs Cup to the eventual winners, Leeds United

Ray Clemence, Larry Lloyd, and Alec Lindsay emerged as key players in their second season of first-team action, and Steve Heighway, who joined from Skelmersdale United in May 1970, became a regular in his first full season with the club. John Toshack was bought from Cardiff City in November 1970 for £110,000, and became an instant hero by scoring in the Merseyside derby against Everton a few weeks later. Kevin Keegan was signed from Scunthorpe United for £35,000 a few days before the FA Cup final.
