What the league record shows

Liverpool won 42.9% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 25 of 42. The side averaged 1.64 goals scored and 1.45 conceded per match; the resulting +8 goal difference gives more context to the 9th finish than position alone.

Compared with 1925–26, the recorded league position fell by 2 places, while goal difference moved from +7 to +8.

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.
