League record
What the league record shows
Liverpool won 31.0% of their league matches and avoided defeat in 27 of 42. The side averaged 1.26 goals scored and 1.02 conceded per match; the resulting +10 goal difference gives more context to the 12th finish than position alone.
Compared with 1947–48, the recorded league position fell by 1 place, while goal difference moved from +4 to +10.
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.
