What the league record shows

Liverpool won 33.3% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 30 of 42. The side averaged 1.67 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per match; the resulting +7 goal difference gives more context to the 7th finish than position alone.

Compared with 1924–25, the recorded league position fell by 3 places, while goal difference moved from +8 to +7.

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.
