Notes

[edit]

^ Liverpool were banned by UEFA from its competitions from the season 1985–86 on for 10 years, because of the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985, involving Liverpool fans. The ban was eventually lifted for the 1991–92 season.

^ Manchester United qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup as the 1989–90 FA Cup winners.
