League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 59.5% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 32 of 42. The side averaged 2.00 goals scored and 1.24 conceded per match; the resulting +32 goal difference gives more context to the 1st finish than position alone.
There is no directly preceding campaign in this archive against which to compare the league finish.
Place in Liverpool’s wider history
This season belongs to the wartime transition or early post-war era, when Liverpool rebuilt its competitive programme and then tried to sustain the 1947 championship side.
