League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 50.0% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 21 of 34. The side averaged 2.00 goals scored and 1.44 conceded per match; the resulting +19 goal difference gives more context to the 5th finish than position alone.
Compared with 1901–02, the recorded league position improved by 6 places, while goal difference moved from +4 to +19.
Place in Liverpool’s wider history
This was part of Liverpool’s first sustained period in the Football League, before the First World War interrupted the national competition programme.
