2 points for a win
Goal Average (GA) applies if teams are level on points.
Goal average = number of goals scored divided by the number of goals conceded.

C = League Champions
R = Relegated

Before the League recommenced (1919/20 season) it was decided that the First and Second Division would both increase to 22 clubs.

Chelsea were not relegated from Division One and Arsenal were elected the 2nd extra position. This left four vacant places in Division Two. Eight non-league clubs took part in the election for the four places.
