League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 35.7% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 27 of 42. The side averaged 2.05 goals scored and 2.02 conceded per match; the resulting +1 goal difference gives more context to the 9th finish than position alone.
Compared with 1929–30, the recorded league position improved by 3 places, while goal difference moved from -16 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.
