  1. ^ All English teams were banned by UEFA from its competitions from the season 1985–86 on until the season 1990–91 because of the Heysel Disaster in 1985
  2. ^ Liverpool also won the 1986 FA Cup.
  3. ^ Everton were the runners-up in the FA Cup, and Liverpool having won the Double, they should have claimed a place in the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup.
  4. ^ Oxford United won the 1986 League Cup and therefore should have claimed a place in the 1986–87 UEFA Cup.
