What the league record shows

Liverpool won 35.7% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 26 of 42. The side averaged 1.17 goals scored and 1.14 conceded per match; the resulting +1 goal difference gives more context to the 12th finish than position alone.

Compared with 1922–23, the recorded league position fell by 11 places, while goal difference moved from +39 to +1.

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.
