With plans for a new stadium and its capacity still ongoing, it remains to be seen whether a Liverpool home match will have an attendance greater than that which saw an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Wolves in February 1952.
In the third round of the 51-52 season, Liverpool had seen off Workington with a 1-0 victory at Anfield. Their reward was a home draw against Wolves. This was the fifth time that the two sides had been drawn together in the FA Cup, but it was the first time that they had met at Anfield in the competition. It is interesting to note that in the four previous ties played at Molineux, when Wolves won they went on to reach the final (1896, 1939 and 1949).
Prior to this cup match, Anfield’s record crowd had been in another FA Cup fourth-round tie, this time against Tranmere Rovers on January 27th 1934. A total of 61,036 passed through the turnstiles. Tranmere had originally been drawn to play this match at home but then agreed to switch it to Anfield where the capacity was greater.
