Notes

- Liverpool is relegated to the Second Division for the first time in 50 years! Liverpool were relegated after finishing bottom with just 28 points. Amazingly they somehow managed to score 68 League goals, more than tenth-placed Cardiff managed but leaked an incredible 97 at the other end, the worst tally in all four divisions.
