History

Goal difference replaced 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 completed the treble. They won the League Championship (for the 10th time), lost the FA Cup to Manchester United (who themselves would complete the treble in 1999), and became the first English club since 1968 to win the European Cup.

Liverpool became the second English club to play in all three European finals. They became 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 was their third.

Tottenham Hotspur were relegated after 27 consecutive seasons in the Top Division.

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