What the league record shows

Liverpool won 45.2% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 29 of 42. The side averaged 1.40 goals scored and 1.05 conceded per match; the resulting +15 goal difference gives more context to the 4th finish than position alone.

Compared with 1914–15, the recorded league position improved by 9 places, while goal difference moved from -10 to +15.

Place in Liverpool’s wider history

The campaign sits in the interwar record, an era that included consecutive championships in the early 1920s and longer stretches of uneven First Division form.
