What the league record shows

Liverpool won 45.2% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 26 of 42. The side averaged 2.02 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per match; the resulting -3 goal difference gives more context to the 7th finish than position alone.

Compared with 1933–34, the recorded league position improved by 11 places, while goal difference moved from -8 to -3.

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.
