What the league record shows

Liverpool won 52.4% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 35 of 42. The side averaged 1.50 goals scored and 0.86 conceded per match; the resulting +27 goal difference gives more context to the 1st finish than position alone.

Compared with 1920–21, the recorded league position improved by 3 places, while goal difference moved from +28 to +27.

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.
