History

Goal difference replaces goal average to separate clubs with the same number of points. Goal difference is the number of goals scored minus the number conceded. It is a system that favours attacking teams.

Liverpool almost complete the treble. They win the League Championship (for the 10th time), lose the FA Cup to Manchester United (who themselves would complete the treble in 1999), and become the first English club since 1968 to win the European Cup.

Liverpool become the second English club to play in all three European finals. They are the first English club to win a European trophy in consecutive seasons (having won the UEFA Cup in 1976). Their Championship and European trophy double is their third.

Aston Villa require three matches to win the League Cup for a record 3rd time.
